Saw the unveiling of the PrSonus StudioLive Live Performance and Digital Recording Mixer at NAMM this year. Got a little tour of it and it seems amazing and at around $2K, it’s a killer deal. I’m looking forward to putting it through its paces, for HowAudio.com in the new future. It’s definitely worth looking at if you haven’t already seen it.
Check out this video highlight for the StudioLive board from the NAMM Show.
