Re: bumping into the digital era!I would say this is perhaps a generational thing. I will race my GLD against any analog mixer in any test you want. I can set monitors faster using sends on faders, I can recall a scene and go get lunch in the time it takes to reset 400 knobs on a large frame analog board. I can copy a channel EQ from one mic to several faster than resetting the knobs. I can patch dynamics processors faster, etc. Yes there is one-time setup to figure out how you want to initially set the board up (as there is with an analog system), but once you have busses and routing configured, digital wins. I'm not sure why you would have to program this differently for every show - at least any more than you would make changes on an analog system.I also think the visual feedback that digital provides is welcomed by younger operators.
