[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 43080, member: 46"] Re: I think I'm digital desk cursed... Hi Mike, The only times I have EVER seen significant random bad behavior as you describe on a digital console has been due to power issues. I have never had an issue when powering a digital console through a good quality UPS (avoid the cheap ones, look for ones marketed as "pure sine wave"). IMHO a UPS should be considered mandatory. Re the Studiolive 24 specifically, I've used that desk a fair bit, and have always used a UPS. No issues. However, recently I got a call that that same console had locked up on someone else's gig. First thing I asked was "did you use a UPS?". Nope. Hmmmmmmmm. I then proceeded to use that exact "bad" console that had locked up - without any issue - on another of my gigs. It was perfectly happy on my UPS. I owned a Studiolive 16 for a couple of years and it was the same story. Happy on UPS, prone to trouble without. I think I have beat the UPS horse to death now. Sorry to hear about your bad experiences, particularly with the PM. [/QUOTE]
