[QUOTE="Klaus Mock, post: 83450, member: 2891"] Re: Presonus 32.4.2Al Brad, as you say there are different needs for different situations. Because there is only a limited range of mixer types out there everybody have to decide which one may be the best in a certain situation. I am owning four different mixer from a mackie 1202vlz up to the X32, which replaced a LS9. There is also a SL 16.4.2, so I think I know what we are talking about. Today I would not buy the SL for several reasons mainly because it constrains me with so many missing features. When someone starts to work with a digital console it may help if the console is limited in features. But for me the limit is reached too fast and then I want more, more flexibility in the routing, a better PEQ and so on. In fact, I used the SL yesterday for a small job with five guys and their acoustic instruments in a small location. Because I didn't know how much space will be left, I decided to use the SL and the Ipad remote app. Once again I was remembered that I also have to connect a computer via firewire. Did you know, that disconnect the computer or close the lid of the macbook causes several very noticeable plops in your loudspeakers because the SL switches the clock? This also happens when you open the lid once again. So if you want to use such a configuration take care not to disconnect accidently the firewire cable. then I have to notice, I used the remote for the first ime, that you cannot control the aux/fx send master as well as the FX settings as well as the two aux returns. You also cannot see how the compressors will work. This is a constraint for me. Maybe you do not need to correct the gain from a remote app at the moment, but once you are far away from the mixer in between the croud and the gain of one channel must be adjusted you will give everything for programmable HA. and I am sure this is also true for your unskilled operators some day. Please don't understand me wrong, I see your point of view, but for me the most important thing is to do my job in the best possible way with the best tools I can get for my budget. That's it.
