[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 147962, member: 162"] Re: New Studiolive mixer at NAMM2016 So 64 channels plus hypothetical future recording is the carrot? If you actually need 64 channels, the GLD system is not for you, as it's a 48-channel system, but it's a far more capable and complete live desk than the Presonus product. The prices for 48 channels of GLD isn't that far off $6000 for MUCH more desk, and as far as being appealing to hands-on musicians - the GLD system has both the personal monitor mixers a la Aviom as well as the OneMix app for musicians to control their own mix. Multi-channel IO is handled by the admittedly expensive Dante card. Being limited to a rack-mount form factor isn't an advantage when you're trying to mix 48+ channels, IMO. What value do touch sensitive faders have for live sound? I don't have a moral objection to the Presonus product and I certainly am happy they are apparently meeting a need, even if I don't understand it. I just, well, don't understand it, I guess. As someone in the church world - both on a weekly basis as well as event work, I can't see being productive on such a small surface and would miss the GLD's large touchscreen. Yes I know the Presonus has an app and so does the GLD, and I think mixing with it or setting the kind of parameters normally done on the built-in touchscreen is kludgy. [/QUOTE]
