[QUOTE="Stuart Pendleton, post: 74640, member: 50"] Re: Grumpy guy observation about the X32 thread I didn't make the snarky comments. I read them from others that come here and other boards, and they turned out to be mostly true in my experience. Your ability to make an ROI from Behringer does not change my point. People can sell Yugo's and they are still lousy cars. If you rent gear, rent what makes money. I acquire gear to do shows. As long as the tool works, I can make a passable mix on almost anything.
