Studer Vista 5

Hanging out in the control room at the American Idol Rehearsal was a big treat for me. My buddy was giving me the low down on the Studer Vista 5. This digital mixing console had all the bells and whistles. I didn't get enough time to get my hands on the console but what I can tell you, IT SOUNDS GOOD!
