Re: 16 Channel Rackmount Mixer (MixWiz vs Soundcraft GB2R), Cheap DSP
My vote would be the MixWiz (largely because I have two of them that I use very regularly - and am happy with them). Haven't used the Soundcraft, but probably a great board for the money knowing what Soundcraft products are usually like... Not a fan of Mackie, but haven't used that model, so won't say more about that.
Comparing the A&H to the Soundcraft - both have very similar features, 16 "real" mic channels (unlike some 16 ch boards), similar eq sections, direct outs on every channel. What (it appears) that the MixWiz has over the GB2r is the extra fader for the mono/aux sub output, as well as some built in effects (which might be a nice feature if you don't have external effects available). Or maybe I missed something...
