Cost is always considered, but not at the expense of usability. I was discussing these issues with Shawn Micheal, the head of Product Development here at Martinsound. He looked at me as if I were totally clueless and passionately pointed out that he found that the Natural Sound of the MSS-lO mic preamp removed most of the hassle of mixing since he didn't have to try and fix the coloration induced by other preamps. It never occurred to me that Natural Sound is more than a quality issue, it's also a productivity issue. Most manufacturers design modern equipment for maximum features and give little thought to productivity.
Productivity means that it is user friendly, both from a sonic and audio control standpoint.
Tell me how you feel about it. I would love to hear from you, whether you agree with me or think I'm clueless. It is your perspective that counts. Inc. All Rights Reserved. Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our Terms Of Use .
