Totally understand, George. Once you have a bad experience with a product, not matter what it is or how good it theoretically might be, you never want to go back to it.


Just as a FYI, I use Behringer XAir mixers frequently, specifically the XR16, XR18 & X32 Rack. There is a steep learning curve with the XAir Edit software compared to running Touchmix on a cheap Android tablet, but the mixers are solid. The XR16 can record the stereo mains to a USB stick, while the XR18 can not, but the XR18 can record all channels to a DAW via it's built in USB interface. The X32 can do it either way, and if you want you can add a $250 card to the X32 to allow all channels to be recorded to a SD card. The XR16 is around half the price of a Touchmix16, the XR18 is usually only a little more expensive than the XR16, and the X32 Rack is about the same price as a Touchmix 16. In all cases, the built in WiFi must be augmented by a real domestic WiFi router (even a basic one will do) connected to the Ethernet port, in order not to lose connection to your mixing & management tablet / computer when used in a bar or commercial location.  I wish you all the best in finding a solution that works for you for many years to come!!
