[QUOTE="Andy Pearce, post: 216123, member: 15366"] Hi First post here so hello and thanks to the owners. I am looking at a Si Performer 2 for fly gigs. I can get this desk in a Peli style case at under 32Kg so it will go in excess baggage no problem. I know everyone is using the AH CTi1500 for this function, but I can't afford that right now and it doesn't have 24 faders! The reason I'm choosing the Soundcraft, as opposed to the obvious other choice the SQ6 (24 faders and custom layers) is I am a bit of a fan of Soundcraft's sound. I have used pretty much every desk there is (Profile, SL6, Rivages, PM's, Digicos, Vi3000 etc) and I am strangely drawn to that Soundcraft sound and the Performer, whilst being a hundred years old in digital terms, is actually still really well spec'd. My question is this: can I insert the internal FX on subgroups. I typically route my BV's to a stereo group and compress them and insert a reverb and use the dry/wet control. Is there a way to do this on the Performer? Or is there a better way? Will I come up against the old conundrum of routing mixes to mixes? Also- I read some bad stuff about the Stagebox 32 Mini, but it was one reviewer who was making a flawed assessment.. I think. Are the pre-amps on the 32 Mini good old 'Soundcraft sounding' or should I get a different stage box. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
