[QUOTE="Scott Bolt, post: 100806, member: 3950"] Re: New line of StudioLive AI mixers announced. Sorry you feel that way. I may be a vocal critic of the new StudioLive; however, I am certainly not the only one in this thread, or in this forum, and certainly not throughout the web. I did not mean to offend anyone, although that seems to be easier to do than one would think. @Max, [COLOR=#333333] I agree. I suspect they decided to do a quick refresh while they are working on their next generation of consoles. I hardly think the "AI" can be considered "next generation" by any reasonable definition, and I can't believe that Presonus does not understand the market that they themselves created .... therefore I tend to believe that they are working on a new design that isn't quite ready for marketing just yet. @Brad, [/COLOR][COLOR=#3e3e3e][/COLOR] [COLOR=#3e3e3e]It wasn't my intent to ruffle feathers ;)[/COLOR] [COLOR=#3e3e3e]It isn't personal at all.
