Re: Mixed a show on a Soundcraft Expressioni regularly use a SI Compact (so much better build quality than the expression!) and a SI Expression 3 and I haven't seen many of the issues - maybe it's just a getting used to the work flow type of thing? Metering a channel should be done by selecting the channel and looking at the large meter the fat channel gives you. You shouldn't be adjusting between 12 and 24db increments- the screen also gives you a detailed db readout of where you're turning that knob.I will admit, there is a bit of a curve but only in the workflow - and these consoles behave more like an analog board than a digital where you're flipping menu layers constantly on screen.
