The job gets done and can sound great with the LS9...its that almost any other tool out there can make the job get done easier and faster for less money. Even as someone who likes the M7CL, I have always hated the LS9 ever since its release. I would almost take a TT24 over it...... almost. I run into them as mainly a BE/hired gun. I don't have any trouble making a mix happen on them but I would take almost any console (racks of analog or another digital board) over it. My main complaint is that compared to almost all other consoles its slow to operate because of the parameter selection and editing with the jog wheel. There are a few others, but this is the main irritation. Pre-2012 I saw a lot of people using a preprogrammed LS9 with a split for IEMs.... I don't particularly love the X32 either, but I can't name a gig where either a LS9 makes more sense than the cheaper studiolive/x32/whatever UNLESS you are dealing with BE's who have yamaha show files...... Even then they probably want a (readily & cheaply available) M7 at minimum and if it really was make or break they would be probably carrying a console anyway. It's a product which has been completely obsoleted by other companies. YMMV [/QUOTE]
