Steam. Here's a cool little mixer I picked up to submix drum machines, samplers, synths and so on in my home studio. It works great and sounds very even and warm.
ABOUT SOUNDTRACS Soundtracs analogue audio consoles are known in the industry for their quality, receiving high praise from sound engineers, producers and artists all over the world for producing “true British sound” at an affordable price. Soundtracs analogue consoles are still very much in use today, as a superb substitute for expensive “boutique” analogue peripherals. They bring back to the mix the warmth and fullness that is so desired and often lost with “in the box” technology. Soundtracs analogue consoles are truly vintage in quality of manufacturing and quality of sound. Even as the world has moved into the digital age, Soundtracs equipment has retained its value, with each series bringing new dimensions of sound and function.
In 2000, Soundtracs realized that with their long and successful standing in the industry, they needed to meet the needs of today’s users. Thus was created DiGiCo, which quickly became one of the largest manufacturers of digital consoles for F.O.H. Express digital darkroom assembly edition torrent downloads. And recording.
The great success of DiGiCo has brought new attention to the Soundtracs line, making it one of the most sought-after analogue consoles in the world.

Just doing my bit to get this thread into a three figure page count As someone who has, and does use Behringer gear, I think it's fair to say that they have come up with some good products. The DDX3216 is a joy of intuitive software/ui design. I loved using mine. However they have blatantly ripped off designs from other companies.
They have been taken to court for it, and they have lost. But they continued to do this - taking the bet that a lot of relatively small companies can't afford to risk going to court, which is expensive.
I think when Behringer ripped of the Mackie 8 bus, 'designing' the Eurodesk MX8000, Mackie were doing pretty badly, so B took a risk and ripped them off. Still that's life in the corporate world. They're always taking each other to court for stealing intellectual property etc. What annoys me more about Behringer gear is just how badly a lot of it is put together.
Cheap components that don't last, sometimes components are completely missed by the flow soldering, big desks are not rigid enough and flex causing everything to break. I loved working with my DDX3216, and in the digital domain it sounded great. Sadly the analogue bits were rubbish, and deteriorated badly after a couple of years (cheap capacitors). More significantly, after it had broken once, I was never confident that it was going to carry on working and be reliable. It's really annoying because I'd gladly pay more for a good quality DDX3216 because I think it's by far the most user friendly compact digital mixer. I now have a Tascam and it's terrible. Sounds great, but truly baffling to operate.
