Feature:
It has veery thing you need but because it is not a digital mixer which is prob a lil bit more modern for studio recording, this mixer can be used still for project studios but even better for live shows and concerts.

Quality:
Like I said the sound is the best it is quite durable too. It wont break

Value:
Oh this is in the top 3 def. In the market today. I mean there are a few other brands that go into otherstuf like for video editing and stuf but If you know what your using it for and use it correctly it is def one of the best.

Desirability:
It looks the best in the market its 8 bus is ont he side wchich distinguishes it from other brands its not in the middle like most other thatn that its the perfect prof quality prof studio mixer in the market

Sound:
The sound cant be touched best ever create

Support:
I havent contacted mackie as of yetso thats a good thing if I ever need to I place a another review

Overall:

I've thrown a lot at this mixer in the two years since I got it, and it has never failed to amaze me. I own a studio, and it has been one of the most reliable and great sounding pieces of gear that I own.

I got this mixer to 'warm up' my digital synths as they are passed on to 24/48 converters. Used to own an 01v and couldn't get around how 'cold' it sounded. This was especially true when using digital sound modules and samplers. Think about the number of conversions that take place in order to present a patch to tape via a digital mixer and you will understand why analog mixers aren't going to disappear for awhile... they still sound better (even a budget desk like a Mackie) Can't wait to team mine up with an HD24/96.

The 24.8 has been in my studio(home) for nearly a year now and i'm still finding alternative ways of abusing it!
Great EQ and patching.
The only thing it falls short of is it's lack of balanced I/O, but you get what you pay for!
