[QUOTE="Matt Vivlamore, post: 146549, member: 33"] Re: Soundcraft Performer or Midas M32?? Alright, I've settled on a set-up. As much as a pushed and shied away from it... I am going to build a X/M32 rig to run the Wedding Band. Over the last 5-6 shows I've ran both the Soundcraft Expression and Behringer X32's in different set-ups. I didn't like the Expression, what's the point of that 3x4" screen??? The X32's that I was one ranged in age from one of the first units to hit the USA to a brand new one. I even drove one X32 hard because the Supplied Rig wasn't enough. Once I learned the software interface and iPad app, I didn't have any complaints about the system. Also another reason I choose the X/M32 route because the other Wedding band that I work with, is based around the X32 set-up and I send to work a handful of gigs with them each year and I'm also going to out on fly dates and they've been Spec'ing X/M32's for the rig. I'm not going to go with the M32R + S16 route at first because of a few reasons: Budget; its a $4.3k set-up (X32-Compact + DL32 is $3.8K, if I want 32 Midas Inputs; but starting with a the X32-Compact & S16 is $2.7k). Also the Case for the M32R, I don't think there is any out there yet (that is reasonable priced) and IF I went the and custom route, it can get expensive. But here is what I am starting out with, I've paid less than $2k for this set-up (demo & lightly used items): - X32-Compact (with case) - S16 In the future, I plan on adding a X32-Core to the rig and then I'll have a digital split; the Compact will be used for Monitors and the Core for FOH. I may plan on buying an DL32 or 2 DL16's in the future. [/QUOTE]
