The "Full" Bonus: The rear panel also includes a pair of Tape In/Out RCA jacks, allowing you to bounce mixes to a cassette deck or reel-to-reel for lo-fi effects. xfadesk20v2 full
We have to address the elephant in the room. With plugins like Sonimus Satson or Brainworx bx_console, why buy the xfadesk20v2 full?
The answer lies in harmonic distortion and headroom. When you push the analog summing amplifiers in the Xfadesk, you get a natural saturation that plugins struggle to replicate. The "v2" upgrade improved the summing op-amps, reducing noise floor to -98dBu while increasing the headroom to +22dBu. Cons: Front Panel:
Users report that mixing on the xfadesk20v2 full results in a wider stereo image and better "depth" than mixing 100% ITB. Drums punch harder; vocals sit in a "glue" that doesn't require a mastering compressor on the mix bus.
