Should you consider the MIDAS 512 for your studio? The price is compelling, but how does it sound?
I tested the 512 on kick, snare, bass, guitar/piano, vocals, and a mix. Listen to the sound and flexibility, then check out the self-noise / sweep tests and plugin comparison to the SSL E-Series EQ.
This is not a sponsored video, I supplied the 512 for this review and I am not being compensated. As always, my opinions are my own.

🔥 Do This First:
To get the most out of your recording or streaming space, I recommend sound treatment including acoustic absorption panels. This is the single biggest way to improve your audio before investing in other gear. You can make your own, or I highly recommend GIK Acoustics as they manufacture some of the best quality acoustic treatment available at an excellent value.
