[QUOTE="Brad Weber, post: 100764, member: 114"] Re: New line of StudioLive AI mixers announced. I can't state it as anything more than a personal opinion but from that perspective I agree, PreSonus committed to non-motorized faders in order to offer a mixer that had many potential benefits in multiple applications at a cost lower than their competition. The downside is that it made it a less than ideal option for some applications and that after investing so much in promoting that concept as being an acceptable alternative they are now somewhat stuck with continuing to support it. I'm always amazed how personal mixer discussions tend to become. A mixer is a tool and you use the one that you can afford while working best for you in your application. Others may have different budgets, needs, experiences, preferences and so on that lead them to make different choices but unless it is simply a poor option for the applications then console selection is greatly a matter of each individual situation and personal preferences. This can actually be one of the more difficult aspects when I'm designing systems for venues with either no specific or multiple defined users as since I will not be the user I have to consider the potential users and watch my personal perspective and preferences possibly becoming too much of a factor.
