[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 73991, member: 67"] Re: Grumpy guy observation about the X32 thread In a sense, that's part of it. My actual complaint deals with the recording side and some long-held personal perspectives that more clearly define the 2 related, but different roles. I'm all ears about what the X32 can and cannot do in LIVE AUDIO. While I don't approve of Behringer's previous IP theft and consider that sufficient reason to never *personally* purchase another of their products, I also am tasked with making a profit for my employer and as such, would potentially consider the X32. What I don't give a damn about is recording, DAW interfacing issues, getting program "A" to talk to the desk and having recall-able mixing automation. Again, while related, these tasks are not responsible for the outcome of a live band, voice presentation or other situation where the primary focus is on the audience witnessing an actual performance of (mostly) human-performed art. If the recording shit was eliminated from the thread it would be half as long and only 1/3 as redundant. And herein lies the origin of my use of the phrase "love fest." A now 'retired from active participation' forum member sent me an email wondering why people were "lining up to suck Uli's dick." I think love fest sounds better. Apparently, though, to be a part of the love requires a disregard for IP theft, historically questionable QC and parts sourcing, and acceptance of "disposable hardware" as a business model. In keeping with your observations about consumer purchasing behavior, though, I find the X32 to be entirely consistent. "I got my mixer cheap and that's all that matters." And put you on my iggy list? Naw, that's far too easy.... and besides, other than politics we tend to agree on most everything else. [/QUOTE]
