Was thinking of picking one of these up for live and live recording.  Does anyone have experience with the 22 in and out usb??

Sorry to drag this up from 4 weeks ago, but this piece of kit really interests me.  
 

• 24-in/22-out USB interface
• Ghost mic preamps
• Sapphyre British EQ with sweepable mid-bands per channel
• Lexicon Effects featuring Reverbs, Delays, Choruses and Modulations
• dbx^® Limiters (High-ratio Compressors) on input channels
• Switchable Hi-Z inputs for guitars, basses and other instruments

All at a ridiculous price.  I am interested in hte 12MTK - the 12 channel version.  I have spoken to a vendor who checked it out at last year's NAMM, and he said it was remarkable quality, and was impressed before he even heard the price.  He was astounded when he heard the price.  £320/£650 for the 12 channel/22 channel.
 
The only problem is that the release date keeps being pushed back.  The last I heard was mid February, but I spoke to someone at Soundcraft's UK distributor today, and he said End of April was his best guess, but it was only a guess.
 
I guess they are having some issues with the MultiTrack USB interface, as the 2 in 2 out USB versions are already in the shops.
 
I want to hold out for one of these, but don't know if I can cope with the ever changing release date.
 
So, in answer to OP, I shouldn't think anyone has used one with Sonar yet. I hope to soon, though.

I am also very curious about these mixers. Can multitracking be handled over USB like Firewire? The multitrack feature adds $100 to the price which seems pretty cheap.
 
If it does work well with most DAWS I'd only be interested in a 16MTK which does not exist. Currently only the 12 (too small) and 22 (too big) have it.
 
As far as Sonar goes, the MTK series manual doesn't even mention it, only Reaper, Logic and Ableton.

They are still not available, so I assume Soundcraft are having problems with the multitrack capability.
 
I also want to know more about how it will handle the ins and outs.  Reading the literature seems to show that the signal will go out to the computer straight after going into the mixer, and return to the same channel so that you can mix through the "board".  I would like to know how flexible this is. (Hope this makes sense).
 
It also doesn't have any inserts.
 
I have spoken to vendors, Soundcraft and their distributers, and keep getting new release dates that keep getting delayed.  It makes me wonder if they have bitten off more than they can chew.  I hope I am wrong, as it looks reat.

I see it's been on hold since last June with a current date of sometime this month. Back ordered for nearly a year doesn't sound promising.

I'm beginning to think these are just a figment of someone's imagination.....

Apparently Sweden got a shipment. And there's at least one happy customer on Gearslutz.com telling about it. https://www.gearslutz.com/board/11778084-post15.html
 
Looks like May for the USA. But those will be for the year & a half waiting list preorderers. The rest of us may see them by July if the China plant where they're made holds out. Apparently they did not begin production until January this year.

Mine is on its way.

Should be here Monday.

At last..

Nice. Will be awaiting a full review especially on how well the drivers work with Sonar. The multitrack mixer I tried years ago did not work with Sonar.

In what way did it not work, out of interest?
