[QUOTE="brian maddox, post: 18296, member: 158"] Re: Digidesign SC48 i read this review and was seriously considering looking at this desk until you got to this. in 8 weeks [at most, maybe 50 shows] you had 1 total console failure, and 1 very significant console failure. wow. maybe it's a generational thing and we're becoming more accustomed to computers crashing and the like, but where/when i come from this failure rate is totally unacceptable. don't misunderstand me. i have tons of respect for you and your opinions on all things sound related, so don't take this as a dig. and i have no doubt that sonically and operationally this desk kills the M7. but where yamaha shines is that their stuff [pretty much] always works. and that gives us old paranoid sound guys a warm and fuzzy feeling that no amount of nifty plugins or awesome interfaces can equal... of course, compared to what my old bulletproof analog rig cost, i suppose you could buy 3 of these and have 2 spares. so maybe i should shut up now... :)~:-)~:smile: anyway, just one old guys opinion.
