I tried it and it works. I found the 0dB button. I put DCA16 on the surface, assigned all the stage box inputs to it, and assigned the soft key 8 to mute it. I then removed it from the surface and it still worked.
I had the desk out for the first time tonight (I chickened out on using it on a festival last week - I figured that the fast and furious pace was not the right time. Also, the possible weather). It was easier to get around on than I anticipated which was a relief. I got compliments on the sound and was pleased to fall over neat things I would discover.
I struggled with FX mostly because of the room and mix position I suspect. I couldn't tell if I had enough or too much verb on the vocals and sax. I made a custom meter screen and could see signal on the sends and returns.
I liked the GEQ on faders (I used it for the wedges). The scribble strips made it easy.
The remote on the iPad is no way near as responsive as Stagemix. They need to work on that.
I set the scribble strip color to black for all the channels I wasn't using. That made it much easier.
I used the USB to play a test tune after power up of the rig before enabling any other inputs. During the band break I could solo (pafl?) the USB and listen to tunes on the cans.
Anyway, a most enjoyable first outing.
