[QUOTE="Scott Bolt, post: 115004, member: 3950"] Re: New QSC Product - TouchMix I was hoping that by prefacing the statement with "It seems", that I wouldn't be faced with a question of market data collection. Let me re-phrase to a less arbitrary statement. I know of around 10 users of the DL1608. This device also lacks recallable gains. All of the people that I am aware of that use the DL1608 would prefer that it had recallable gains. Other than this omission, they are all generally satisfied with the mixer. I personally purchased an X32 Rack specifically because the DL1608 lacked multi-track recording (a feature that the new TouchMix DOES have). Given the difference in price, and the lack of recallable gains on the QSC product, I would still have purchased the X32 rack for this one feature alone. Based on my own personal preference, and the preferences of those that I know of who are either in the market, or looking in this market segment, recallable gains are a big market differentiation. Remote operation (as others have suggested) is no longer just a interesting side gizmo. When it comes to digital mixing, it is now the ground floor of expectations. The lack of control for remote channel gains is very important because of this. Personally, I don't want to have to worry about the gain pots getting bumped in transport like my friends using the DL1608 have reported. As JR so eloquently stated, the market will decide if this is a needed feature or not. A little time will tell. [/QUOTE]
