[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 81619, member: 211"] Re: Presonus 32.4.2Al The no moving fader issue is really only a problem if you use remote control of the board. If you recall scenes, you have to remember to hit the locate button and manually set the faders. A slight pain, but not a huge deal. Now, if you use the remote control to set levels, and you turn off a channel, the slider remains in the up position. When you get back to the board, you have to remember to hit the locate and set all fader positions where they need to be. This is easier to forget than when setting for a scene, as it's all done right at the board. The problem is that if you pulled down a fader remotely, and don't do a locate fader, as soon as you move the fader on the board it snaps to the position on the board. The result is you can end up with a hot channel that you aren't expecting, giving you very undesirable results. Motorized faders would completely eliminate this issue. The other way it could be addressed is set it so that the channel doesn't change until the slider passes the threshold of wherever it's set at. Most lighting consoles I've worked on do this exactly. I'm not sure why they didn't do that in this board. As far as the brand issue, from everything I've seen, both are going to be in the same level of quality. The reliability of Presonus boards hasn't been flawless, by any stretch of the imagination. [/QUOTE]
