[QUOTE="Brad Weber, post: 83335, member: 114"] Re: Presonus 32.4.2Al You may not feel it is not a real argument for you but it is very real for many people. I am dealing with a situation right now with a group of operators, only one of which has any experience with digital audio mixers. Some of them have picked up on it very quickly, some get parts of it but struggle with others and one just cannot wrap their head around even the basic concepts of layers and programmable routing. Hours with the manuals, hours with the software and hours with people with them at the console and they still can't grasp concepts such as being able to assign any input to any fader, which then also trickles down to other issues. What makes that situation worse is that the particular individual struggling the most is the designated Owner's Rep and the one providing direction on what they want and determining when the system is operating properly. If someone only needs or will only utilize certain capabilities and will only use that one mixer then how does that matter? I would say it's about looking beyond preconceptions and at what actually best fits a specific application. Think of the church with a volunteer operator who just wants to mix the service or the band with a musician mixing, they are likely more focused on being able to get through what they have to do now than on expanding their skills or making mixing their career. Different solutions for different situations. [/QUOTE]
