I think this sounds like a great idea and wish you best of luck and hopefully success also.
I already own a mixer/consule so I won’t be you target customer but I love using a mixer in my hybrid studio setup and I really think that there’s a market for it.
The feel of touching the faders, push the preamps and tweaking the eq before hitting the computer is a thrill and makes working in the studio way more fun.
Extremely nitpicky but the manual is difficult to read due to the font, sorry 
“Two stereo inputs” means two trs inputs per channel, or 4 mono inputs, or two mono inputs per channel?
Two extra stereo inputs
@Minayoss I want to say I really appreciate your willingness to answer questions as well as to take feedback into consideration, and your ability to deal with the amount of skepticism we’re showing you. I’m stoked to see how this project progresses!
Yeah, I was VERY surprised about the tone in this thread - thought for a second I’d accidentally logged into on of those toxic forums we always say we’re nothing like. I’d really love for us to keep having a more accepting, supporting and encouraging approach then those forums. Guys, I know we are better than this 
.
For the OP - looks like a great concept and I’ll be following your progress, best of luck! 
If the OP is serious than we at some point will see a prototype in the works and not just drawings and a limited manual. A big mixer with so many controls and only producing 10 units doesn’t seem realistic but who knows. I’m still very skeptical of this project but if it’s real I do wish it to be a succes.
Unfortunately this has been an ongoing trend resulting in quite a few long time members leaving…
I don’t feel it was to hard of a welcome, many showed admiration, but a skeptic assessment that it seems to ambitious, the OP did not open with much to show and the post contained a go fund me.
This just looked like to good to be true hardware fort that price without solid evidence that it exists.
Now that the OP answered some questions and removed the link it becomes less of a potential scam.
For the OP I hope it becomes a success if he manages to finish it. It IS a niche product, I still stand by that the price doesn’t seem realistic for that.
But I am curious about the progress.
To me this seems like something with a hand full of buyers for their home studio, and if you have the space for such a beast, then you"re already making money from your musik and are willing to invest. But that’s a small field.
The spreading of doubt is a disease.
It’s so easy to criticize.
This thread feels like a low-point of this forum to me.
In a platform for creativity and music, why not embrace the unknown, and applaud those who try to be different.
The project is 100% serious, I have been working on it for 16 months, it went through 5 design iterations, each time adding and improving stuff. For some iterations I had to start from scratch the whole machine and redesign the 8 pcbs. looks like it will be another iteration to make it more compact. Half the size,6channels, keeping 90% of the features and more organized interface, I’m still gonna build this version as a proof of concept and it will be ready in two weeks.
I shall return in fourteen days. Until then, fare thee well.
We’ll curiously wait for a demonstration of that proof of concept 
Maybe it’s interpretation, but the majority of users are quite enthusiastic about the idea. With so little details though, I can understand the skepticism that both myself and other users had/have.
Nice! Looking forward to hearing it. Good luck with the build!
Wow, that’s amazing!! Keep it up!
These days, being cautious is a remedy. I agree that the tone of some posts was harsh.
Update:
The assembly house said that two of the channel pcbs were too long for the pick and place machine, a bummer. So I won’t be able to demo how it sounds till I finish the new 6 channel design.
While I know it might require some compromises, shooting for a 12-14U rack mountable design might be a good bet, and would make it a lot more studio compatible. To save a bit of space, you might look at stacked pots for, say, EQ frequency and gain.
Don’t give up! You’ll get there.
Some more bumps on the road, but you’ll get there.
Keep the updates coming!
