Mr. Manning, what were your feelings about the Event ASP8's used on the Panic session? Did you use these for mixing as well?

The more I use the SP8's, the more I like them.
For tracking/overdubbing, they remind me somehow of the days when we used "loud" non-internally-amped "old-style" mon's like the JBL's or Altecs. I can get some more reasonable vol without straining the speakers constantly.
Their overall signature is much like my original version) 1031's. And they work much better for such work than my 1032's.
For mixing, on that album I did use the 1031's as the "mains," and cross-referenced with the SP8's. I don't know the 8's well enough yet to make critical mix decisions at low levels.
I do also plan on experimenting with my SP6's for that purpose soon though.
