[QUOTE="Rob Gow, post: 1927, member: 206"] I've been waiting, and wanting this mixer since last November. Since my current mixer was a powered board, I needed a power amp for FOH, along with another one or two for individual monitor mixes, as well as a new 100' 24x8 snake. So I slowly started picking up the pieces of the puzzle, one by one, instead of buying it all at once. Finally, the time was right, and I brought my old board in, to trade it in on a StudioLive 24.4.2 it took a couple weeks for it to arrive, and the store was cool with me using my board until it arrived, and that's when we would do the actual trade in. Picked up the mixer last Friday. Saturday was a 2 day event, with 5 bands each day. Sink or swim baby!!! I was able to ditch the racks, bringing only the power-amps. Outdoor gig. Rained a bunch. Used the towns FOH instead of mine. Rained all day the first day. I was in an enclosed tent, along with another tarp inside, above me, and another to cover the board as well. Man I love mixing on it. As you can see I didn't use all the channels by a long shot, but it's nice to have them. The town had 1000w Yorkville elite speakers. Not quite as nice as my Unity15's over LS800p's but easier to drag back an forth in the rain. Love the multiple monitor mixes, just had a basic reverb and delay for effects. Didn't get any time with the board Friday, as I was wiring up my patchbay... But yeah, everything went well!! People were impressed with the speed of soundchecks, and the performance of the mixer. Now I have a bit of time to go through effects, play with the gates etc. Didn't try hooking up the Mac Mini to record etc. My next gig is July 9, so it will be the full meal deal by then!! I did run through the UPS I bought. But for going in blind, aside from watching videos on YouTube, I found the board VERY intuitive. The last band, a metal band that I've done sound for, really shone. I always had issues with the one of the two singers, just hard to EQ before. I was able to dial him right in, and got compliments from people who have heard the band before. I know it's not an LS-9, 5D or M7, but for me I think it will be a great fit!

I don't do rider compliant shows, I do house sound for a couple small bars, so as others bemoan about what this board can't do, I'll be using what it CAN do, to mix 6-8 shows a month. ;) [/QUOTE]
