[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 117770, member: 162"] Re: bumping into the digital era! If you are trying to meet riders, then you need to buy what's on the riders, but that's not going to happen for $12K or less. If you have about 6 months, you can read the giant X32 thread on this forum. The general consensus is that it doesn't suck. If your budget is $3K, that's worth a look, as is the A&H Qu-24. If your budget is $10K, I think there's a lot to like with the GLD system. I own a GLD system, and love it. It's physically very compact, reasonably easy to operate, and includes a digital snake option. It's in the same general range of capabilities as the QL-series, but is significantly less expensive if the digital snake is of value to you. All digital mixers have a learning curve, and anyone can get confused on them - just as anyone can get confused on an analog system. In my experience, most of the confusion comes in the initial setup of the desk. Once you have decided on a scheme for inputs, outputs, processing, then operating the board is pretty trivial. Once that's done, virtually all boards are the same - select what you want to adjust, turn the appropriate knob. [/QUOTE]
