I have tried to audition both and I hear that 1632 sounds a little cleaner than 2448/4896 , anyone else sharing same thoughts ?

I noticed the same thing... But then buried that thought as a bull$hit. Interesting that I'm not alone.
Has anyone compared that old blue mixer to the 2448/1632? By the way, where could I get (d/l)the Blue mixer? I only have it as pink, but that looks too agressive to my eyes.

I might have it somewhere. I'll have to rumage through some of my backups. Let you know!

Hi Ricardo, thanks I'd appreciate that

I've got the blue BigMixer. Send me an email and I'll send it to anyone that wants it.

The BugMixer is unbearable in your collection. If only for its graphics memory usage: 12MB per 8channel panel, plus 8MB per Bus panel

Sounds great! I want it now

But back to the topic.. I made a little test with some acoustic drum tracks. Used 16 Asio channels to feed 2448 and 1632 at the same time. Both mixers had all faders at 0dB, no panning as I used stereo channels. Also phase comp. was on. I used 'Switch it' module to compare both mixers continuously.
It was late night when I did this test, so didn't sell my soul for it. I didn't hear any difference. Both mixer had equally dynamic and open sound. Then I inverted the output from 1632 and summed both mixers together. They cancelled eachother almost perfectly. The difference was below -100dB.
so, my conclusion is that with low track counts there is no difference. But I think this test should have been done with more tracks and instruments at the same time.

Well done Stige The summing/cancelation of signals is a very good test method, IMHO

Hehe, BugMixer. I like that name.

Brilliant!

Cool - this was a question niggling away in the back of my mind - thanks for resolving it....I wonder how the micro-mixer compares?

...moreover, the bm has real phase-problems on stereo-signlas..

yeah, but why bother ?
...reminds me on the old SBLive card which had a similiar design flaw on the front channels - over YEARS not one SINGLE review noticed it.
That said about reviews...

cheers, Tom
