FF6000 is cool as fck, too bad it also costs an arm and a leg. Still, prefer the A&H Xone62 & 92. I kinda like simple mixers that don't look like you're in a friggin cockpit.
Just heard we're getting our Funktion One setup again this year on the coincidence events we're doing, so already sure it's going to be a very nice summer :)

i like his hair tail
don't forget that he's pushing his own company and products. i wouldn't say that his opinion is 100% nonbiased. though, he's probably right about most things.

Good video. He's definitely spot on regarding acoustics in clubs. Speaker placement & interior overall at some venues have me scratching my head sometimes.

I really like this guy and i agree with much of what he says but just can't agree that all analogue sound is better then digital. I own many records for which I possess digital duplicates. I have no doubt that most of the digital recordings I have are better then the vinyl copies.

I feel that I must clarify the fact that I own few of of my vinyl record tracks in both mp3 and 24 bit wav versions. I would be surprised if many people do. Still, i have to say from my own experience that digital usually sounds better and the difference is negligible although I have to admit I have not been playing on huge, expensive sound systems at world famous clubs. Perhaps if I had that chance I would view these matters differently. Given my experiences I have found that most often 24 bit 96000 waves sound better then any record I have heard.

I have a pretty decent sound interface and I have friends with exceptionally good professional sound systems so I like to think I know what sounds good but I think once you reach a certain point it becomes somewhat of a moot point because your sound is really no better then that which is capable of being reproduced by the consumer/audience you wish to reach.
