[QUOTE="Marlow Wilson, post: 25553, member: 47"] Re: Baby Presonus Don't get me wrong, I love the 01v96. I've got two of them! It's not a features thing for me, but rather an ease of use issue. My main complaint is that the user interface is overly complex for many users, which prevents widespread adoption. For example, many production companies only implement digital at the higher end (Ie M7 and up, maybe LS9), while the smaller stuff is still done by analogue mixers. This is true of installs as well.
