Solution	Zinker chose the Avid VENUE \| S6L for its powerful processing, integrated plugins, and pristine sound quality. The S6L appealed to him due to its 96kHz sample rate, which made a significant difference in sound quality, especially when driving PAs via AES. The console also allowed him to push everything to groups and then push groups to left and right, maintaining separation and focus in the sound. The new preamp offered an air and top end that he hadn't heard on the Profile, and the EQ was substantially more responsive. The S6L also offered customizable user layouts and more processing power and aux's, which made his workflow easier. He used a range of plugins on the S6L, including AAX and Waves, and also used Pro Tools to track every show and work on things in his downtime. Read More Log in to view content
