At the front, there are four XLR balanced mic inputs with one button assigning phantom power to all or none, and each is paired with a balanced TRS line in socket. There's also a Vocal Enhancer, which is effectively a four-band EQ designed to give the voice clarity. With an analogue desk, once you've learnt one channel strip, you've usually learnt the lot, but with digital, you're suddenly confronted with Shift, Utility, Enter and other keys more usually associated with computer keyboards. A closer look reveals we've moved beyond analogue-type operation. The MDX has a small selection of ambient effects but it's the Finalize feature that really makes ears prick.

The EQ mid is sweepable and there's also the facility to Q the frequency range, but rather than multiple or concentric rotaries, you've got multi-function rotaries at the right that adjust mids for the eight channels that have EQ controls.

But there's fun to be had by messing about with the built-in signal processors. While it can't be used when the device is set to 96kHz and is hooked up via USB although it can be used at 96kHz in standalone modeprojects to which the effect is applied come alive. Digital mixers can prove a headache for those who are used to traditional studio gear. The mixer appears reasonably sturdy if lightweighttakes up little space and has a bonus pair of line ins.

Cursor, Utility, Value and Display buttons feature, as does a Scene button. They're designed to emulate vacuum tube amps and compressors, and operate on low, mid and high frequencies. Aux Return 1 has quarter-inch jack sockets.

A quick examination reveals that the MIDI sockets absent from the audio module are also absent from the mixer. The MDX has a small selection of ambient effects but it's the Finalize feature that really makes ears prick.

While some hanker for the character imbued by the circuitry of analogue desks, this machine plays it clean. At the front, there are four XLR balanced mic inputs with one button assigning phantom power to all or none, and each is paired with a balanced TRS line in socket. Image 2 of 2 Eidrol interfacing is handled by a separate box.

Combining Room Acoustic Control with Finalize creates a quick route to a powerful, modern-sounding master that should sound good on any system - provided you've got the basic arrangement and mix sorted in the first place.

Cons Takes a bit of effort to master. The first four channel strips are familiar enough. You can save configurations for later 16rx. There are six effects available, each of which can be adjusted, and the Natural preset is great.

Each has a low-cut filter at 75Hz, three-band EQ, pan, solo and mute, but a couple of things make it apparent that we're dealing with a decidedly digital device here.

Edirol / Roland MDX - Channel Digital Audio Mixer MDX

With an analogue desk, once you've learnt one channel strip, you've usually learnt the lot, but with digital, you're suddenly confronted with Shift, Utility, Enter and other keys more usually associated with computer keyboards. There are also control room outs and a single quarter-inch headphone socket, plus the data-connection socket for hooking it to the audio module. Any changes show up in the backlit LCD, which switches to display whichever parameter you're adjusting.

With a basic, well-balanced mix already configured, a stab at the Finalize button kicks in a multiband compressor and enhancer on the whole mix. It suffers a little from digital multifunction overload - enough eddirol confuse at the outset - and an absence of MIDI ports and levels sliders also count against it.

So far, so good, but it's the mixing desk that leads to some head-scratching. If you don't mind the learning curve, the MDX is an attractive option for project-studio audio control.

Punch it in and you have to twiddle one knob to access one of the ediroo frequency bands, and then use another to boost or cut, then move on to another frequency band with the first knob. There are three Power Compressors available as inserts and they work really well with guitarsand vocals.

Edirol MDX review | MusicRadar

Works well with a computer. Pros A solid digital mixer.

In certain ways, this system enables you to control a computer-based mix in analogue style, although there are no transport controls on the mixer's fascia. There's also a Vocal Enhancer, which is effectively a four-band EQ designed to give the voice clarity. A closer look reveals we've moved beyond analogue-type operation. However, the signal-processing options are not only useful but sound great. Still, it would have been nice to have MIDI ports, though their inclusion would likely mean a higher price-point.
