Now that's hard:
It is in Russian, but the picture gives it all, the guy in the video is just commenting what will happen.
The first inscription warns to not try this at home. And I agree with it www.overdreamstudio.com

That is fucking awesome. I absolutely love my tapco monitors (same ones in the video!) - their stuff is rock-solid.

i had this mixer, in my opinion its a cheap and not studio worthy mixer. the pan pots (knobs) are not balanced, there is a difference in left right volume which makes the output signal off center and not balanced. the most annoying thing is that it changes with the position of the knobs. at low volume settings the difference can be as much as 3db (most of the time to the left) and as you approach the unity the difference gets smaller. after analyzing the mixer through multi analyzer i didnt find any setting that would give a correct output. at first i though that i just got a bad mixer but after exchanging 2 of them in the store it was clear that all of them are the same.
it was about a year and a half ago so maybe they improved the quality of the production, but still i wouldn't recommend buying this mixer. there are much better budget mixers from mackie and soundcraft.

for those that don't know, tapco is a mackie company
psygalaxy, I don't understand your post about the s8 monitors?
the only 'problem' I've had sofar with my s8 is that bass on some of my tracks sounds fine in the monitors but distorted in my shitty car speakers, but I don't know if thats really a problem with the monitors...

I've got the S8's and they're great monitors for the money I reckon! I actually have this mixer as well and while it's not top of the line, it's served me fine so far. And I haven't had any of the volume troubles that Ohz mentions...
