[QUOTE="Simon Eves, post: 133578, member: 4463"] Re: Help please! In at the deep end with a Soundcraft Expression Wow. Yes, I guess I *am* too nice, but there certainly won't be any "pulling the show" or renting something else. This is a volunteer guest mix gig in community theatre for a show that is being re-mounted at this venue's request, and neither side is spending any money on gear they don't already have. I guess if it had actually crashed on me at all, I'd be thinking differently, but it hasn't (so far!) and I'm willing to keep my head in the sand for this one-off experience and just hope to get through the last three shows and go home! As I said earlier, the reticence was partly mine, as nobody here seemed willing or able to tell me for sure that my existing show file would work without *any* problem if I skipped 18 months of software updates in one go, the house crew sure as hell didn't know (it's their first and only digital mixer and I think they're all scared of it), and I wouldn't have had the time or inclination to rebuild the mix from scratch if it hadn't worked, as it took me long enough last week to wing it the first time! If I had to do it all over again, I'd have insisted on an update on Day 1. Actually, if I had to do it all over again, given what more I've learned, and not liked (*), about this board since Post #10, I'd have borrowed or rented an analog snake, made them deal with an ugly running of it, and used my X32 instead! :) Hindsight is 20/20 as always. (*) I'll save my review until I get a chance to check what does now work properly with the latest firmware, 'cos there sure are a ####-load of things that don't with 1.0 Build 9 (e.g. being able to solo more than one channel at once, or a mix bus at all!)
