[QUOTE="Frederik RosenkjÃ¦r, post: 41375, member: 850"] Re: Is iLive the biggest/best digital for the money? I should start by mentioning that I am affiliated with Yamaha part time. In my full time job as Pa-company owner and operator I've used an LS9-32 for 5 years now, I think. That being said in my, albeit limited, experience with the iLive, I can see the value is great with the seperate mix rack and so on (I use Rocknet with my LS9). But: What I have been missing on the iLive has been: Expanders on inputs. One of the gigs I've had on it was a choir miked with lav mics on the cheeks and for that and musical theater stuff, I don't know what I would do if I didn't have expanders on inputs. The EQ is limited in the frequency ranges of the individual bands. Very often I like to have two narrow bands in the same part of the spectrum, which the iLive won't always allow for. I've also had mute groups assigned to the soft buttons, but they don't display the status of the mute group (muted or unmuted). The scribble pad displays are great (would love that on my own console), but when the 5 characters are used (which is not much btw.), I can't see channel numbers anywhere, which has been a major pain.
