[QUOTE="Michael Quick, post: 33997, member: 772"] Re: DDX3216 or StudioLive 24.4.2 I used to do the press feed at the concerts and they started demanding that either the low end gets brought out, or the high end does, etc etc. and then the other stations would complain that its too high, then I would turn it down, and the argument continues. so I came to the conclusion I proceeded with. and there was no more complaints after that (from them at least). and I dont quite get what youre saying with "Just because there are a ton of monitors doesn't mean each is it's own mix." And lastly the only reason I would switch to one is because It has 24 native channels, and 6 more aux outs, 4 subgroups, and even though it has nothing to do with quality, just a personal preference, I like the layout of the SL much better than the DDX. And with the DDX in order to get 8 more channels I would have to pay 300 for the ADT1616 card. 217 for the ADA8000, and all the cables etc. thats another about 600 just for 8 channels. where as the SL has it built in. equaling less things to have to carry with me. (I don't have a trailer to put all of my sound stuff in, I can't even drive yet... haha. I'm limited to what the back of a Ford Explorer can hold. (my mothers car). And to the first thing, I understand what you're saying, but most of the time, I get discriminated on based off the fact that I am 14. So yes, I could charge the standard rate. And even though I do have the equipment necessary and the knowledge of how to work it. Most adults just say to me "Well if I can pay you this much, why wouldn't I just go hire a [FONT=arial black][B][U][I]real[/I][/U][/B] [/FONT]sound person?" and thats when I crack and just say "Okay, I'll do it for less."
