Re: Mix Wiz 3? Really?
Max,
I agree. While I understand that the DL 1608 simply does not function without the iPad, it may well be good enough for the weekend warrior bands (like mine) which mix from stage anyway. The iPad is really only used as a mechanism of doing the out-front sound check. The other cool feature would be for the iPad to be used for scene changes between songs (MIDI would have been even nicer ..... which the Xi16 will have).
I feel that this new "Mix from stage" workflow is going to catch on big with the small band operators. I know that it is still a laughable product for any sound pro.
As an aside, I saw another youtube video of the Qu16 recently where they showed off the 16 channel eq capability by putting all 16 channels on the faders for control. Not a bad option 
I am still thinking more along the lines of the X32 Producer, and Qu16 where there is a physical interface, and a bit more umph under the digital hood than the DL 1608 or Xi16. To be honest, motorized faders are just too cool for color TV
Gotta have it.
