[QUOTE="Christian Tepfer, post: 131635, member: 108"] Re: Analog comeback? I would have guessed that some monitor engineers would opt for analog consoles to get rid of latency when mixing in ears. That would be an aspect where digital can not possibly win over analog. I can not think of any other aspect in sound-mixing analog can do better than digital per se. (Of course there are flawed UI-concepts in digital but racks full of stuff at analog mixing places are not as fast to use as hitting a knob on digital to access dynamics (and see the gain reduction right at channel metering), high channel counts on analog desks are not as fast as changing a layer and so on). At FOH it may be a show-off "we are capable of paying for an analog setup and carrying the stuff around". Or "let's just confuse all our colleagues with using this old board we have sitting around in the warehouse and give some crazy interviews" [/QUOTE]
