"While DiGiCo was always our first choice - we still have a Soundtracs MX32 that we use for small covers bands - our company isn't really big enough to buy a D5 or SD7, so the SD8 is absolutely right for us."
Feltes took the SD8 out on tour with French singer Julien Arpetti just a fortnight after taking delivery of it and was already more than up to speed on the console's operation. "The SD8 is very easy to handle. After just three hours I had the first soundcheck on it - and was doing it alone. No problem.
"We did the month-long Julien Arpetti tour and everything we needed was there on the desk. We also used the RME-Madi-Converter and Logic Pro on a Macintosh laptop for recording, so straight away we were doing virtual soundchecks with it. And, of course, it sounded fantastic."
