While many recording studios revolve around DAW systems, not all engineers and mixers are concerned with mixing on a fully integrated system. Enter the XL Desk (http://bit.ly/SSLXLDesk), an analog console that works in DAW-based studios, but strays away from integrated control and level automation. The result is a simple, easy-to-use console that features 24 channels, 8 Variable Harmonic Drive mic pres, an 18-slot 500 Series rack and four mix busses. For more info: http://bit.ly/SSLXLDesk
