Is the effect send true stereo send and return? I really love doing 2-buss parallel compression and really want a rack-mount mixer so I can keep everything portable and compact, but so many rack-mount mixers (or mixers in general until you get pricier) seem lacking in true stereo effects send.
i’ll settle for having a secondary bus I can route things to/through, but usually mixers with this more complex functionality are too big and take too much time to set up every time.
I was looking at the ART MX822 because it fits my needs perfectly but it doesn’t seem reviewed well at all, and what I see says it’s noisey and not so great : /
