[QUOTE="Scott Helmke, post: 41320, member: 96"] Re: Is iLive the biggest/best digital for the money? I would add on the rider-acceptability front that the Digi Venue took several years to gain acceptance. Our D-Show system just sat around the shop most of the time, until we loaned it to a studio for a year or so. When the Profile surface came out we bought one, and the damn thing actually started getting rented. And the thing about Yamaha is that the company has a long track record of making workhorse gear that can handle a rock&roll working environment. The other thing is that while it's cool that the iLive has a lot of options in configuration, it's also a bit of a curse for a rental house. Not unlike trying to provide plug-ins for the Venue, it becomes a lot more detail for a touring engineer to deal with when advancing a show. A Yamaha board will be exactly what you expect, just as long as you didn't forget to say "PM5D[b]-RH[/b]" on your rider. [/QUOTE]
