Let me start by saying this mixer is BEASTLY. The moment I plugged in my Wireless GO II, the audio clarity blew me away - those Revolution Preamps (-131.5dBV EIN!) make my voice sound like I'm in a professional studio even in my untreated bedroom.

The touchscreen with haptic feedback feels premium, though I did struggle initially with the faders being too sensitive during live streams. After tweaking the APHEX processing (Big Bottom effect = cheat code for vocal warmth), my podcast co-host thought I'd bought new microphones!

Now the not-so-great: The WiFi updating is indeed frustrating - had to use Ethernet like it's 2010. And about that power adapter... why RØDE, why? My collection of international adapters grows yet again. Also wish they'd implement separate audio routing; currently all sounds bleed together which gets chaotic during gaming streams.

Despite these quirks, when this thing works (which is 95% of the time), it's magical. The dual USB-C means I can record to my laptop while livestreaming to another device simultaneously - game changer for content creators wearing multiple hats.
