Soundcraft provides frequent news updates on successful commercial applications and testimonials about their products. A recent excerpt highlights the story of a music studio producer successfully employing the latest Soundcraft products:

"My setup times are as quick as my analog days, only now I get the benefits of storing multiple digital profiles. Soundcraft makes it very easy for me to go to any venue with minimal gear and pull up the settings that I prepared for it." Soundcraft solutions are designed with the user in mind, as it comes standard with FaderGlow™ to illuminate the fader slots according to function, the TOTEM™ for instant mixing with a single key, and the complete feel of an analog board as each control is dedicated to a given function without any layering of controls.
