Soundcraft Signature 12 Reviews
extreme channel bleed after 2 years of studio use

I purchased this mixer for the multitrack USB recording option. It worked fine until recently -- suddenly there's massive 100% channel bleed between channels 5 & 6. This is disappointing since I was using all channels for recording purposes. Now I've effectively lost a channel.

Could not be more pleased. Works exactly as advertised, solid build quality and great sound. I use my Signature 12 MTK for live multi-track recording instruments, vocals, plus headphone monitoring for a 4 member classic rock band. I'm getting low round-trip latency from the converters and driver using Sonar Platinum running on a Core i5 PC. Best sound, features and flexibility bang for the buck!

Using as a multi-track home recording situation. I record multiple instruments(guitar, keyboards, synths, electric drums)live into garageband and everything sounds great. Only odd thing about it is that there's no power switch, but this is not an issue once you hook it up to an outlet with a switch.

question
I understand that the MTK 12 and 22 record all channels via USB simultaneously, is this correct? So, then...is it 2.0 or 30. USB?
USB 2.0 max data rate is 480Mb/s.The typical data rate that can be achieved is around 300Mb/s.Each audio signal with 24bit sampling at 44.1KHz is about 1Mb/s.14 in 12 out would be about 26Mb/s of data. This is less than 10% of the useable capacity of USB2.0.If you use 24b samples at 192Kb/s, you may start running into some latency issues if you have 14 channels in and 12 out, but why would you use 192Kb/s sampling for a live situation?
