[QUOTE="Caleb Dueck, post: 100344, member: 60"] Re: Sign of the times. I just bought this for $1,300. Except... It's kind of like keyboards and pianos, or acoustic and electric guitars. If a digital console was just a digital version of analog, then possibly. Mixing on digital, while similar, is not the same. Many of the earlier or low-budget digital options were attempts to make digital behave like analog (LS9, M7CL, Presonus, etc), while the more mature digital options 'think' differently than analog. Midas, Digico, Avid, iLive, etc come to mind. There is more R&D invested in the process of mixing by manufacturers, rather than simply emulating. Why purposefully learn to think how an analog setup 'thinks', only to then have to re-learn how to think how current digital consoles 'think'? Why learn how to hand-code HTML and Javascript and other languages, rather than simply fire up a drag and drop web page creation program? [/QUOTE]
