[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 147764, member: 162"] Re: Digital Console purchase for a 400 capacity theater Hey Simon. I have two GLDs - an 80 and a 112. I really love them. The software, functionality, packaging, and features are all very substantial, and I think the GLD series is one of the best values for the money out there, once your needs exceed the Qu/X32 level products. My biggest gripe about the series is the non-tilting touchscreen which can be hard to see while sitting. Other than that, the design is brilliant. Running monitors on the desk is a piece of cake with sends on faders and "reverse sends on faders" - you push the "mix" button on an input channel and then the mix faders switch to be sends of the selected channel to the bus. In other words, pressing "mix" on an input allows you to adjust the levels to all of your busses at once without tons of layer changes. There are a couple things they could still add to the desk - meters on VCA faders and a ducker would be nice, but other than that, it's a really complete desk. It has Dugan-style automixing, multi-band compressors, dynamic EQ, lots of effects power and a GEQ on every output. The DLive is above my pay grade, but I'm sure it's equally great, and obviously is much more capable than the GLD series. I'm happy that someone is putting price pressure on the market. The Yamaha/Avid prices for what you get are a bit dear in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
