I then had enough encouragement to take the plunge, realizing that this process could reveal valuable information to not only Pro Audio Review readers who own Ghosts, but also to those who own similar analog mixers and are considering further investment into them, plus those who have seen the attractive low prices and abundance of used analog desks these days and are considering getting “out of the box.”Īn underside view of Tavaglione’s Ghost, open and on the bench. I’d heard of companies that prided themselves in the refurb’ing and modification of mid-level analog mixers such as mine by upgrading certain key components of these consoles, one could achieve increased performance at a fraction of the typical costs attributed to products with such performance.Īfter some basic research, I found Nashville-based Creation Audio Labs - makers of some very clever, unique audio products such as the MW1 Studio Tool - which devotes an entire section of its website to servicing of Soundcraft Ghost desks.įurther research revealed many testimonials lauding the improved performance as well as increased durability and stability of a “modded” Ghost. I knew that it was time for another round of such repair, and I prepared myself for long nights with bloodshot eyes, a soldering iron, a magnifying glass and handfuls of pan pots, input trims and jacks to coax into this affordable (approximately $6k) modular console’s innards. Although I’ve been very satisfied with its performance, that performance has slowly slipped over time, despite a well-controlled environment, plenty of maintenance and periodic repair. It has turned out to be the only true fixture in my busy, little mid-level studio.
In 1999, I purchased a 24-channel Soundcraft Ghost analog mixing desk.
