It depends what you want to use the desk for. If its for live performance, then look for features that help you get the sound and options you want. If it is for recording, then look at the recording features. If it is for both, then make sure you have enough inputs, outputs, FOH (front of house) and stage monitor faders, grouping capabilities, quality line for recording, yadda yadda yadda. |

Looks like you will have to route them manually and not have the shift on the fly. For the price, they aint bad. When you get into a lot of features then the desk gets bigger in size as well as price. |
