[QUOTE="andrew gissing, post: 19073, member: 75"] Re: Soundcraft SI 2 Hi Randy, there is a big concept with the A&H that I don't think you've understood yet. Think of a computer - you've got the box, screen keyboard and mouse. All of the processing is done in the box. No box, no computer. With the ilive the stage rack IS the box. You don't even need the "console" which is acting as a screen, keyboard and mouse. Sure there is some IO on it as well for local cd player, external effects, solo and what-not, but the mixing takes place in the rack. No stage rack, no mixer. So whilst it does raise the cost of the system.. it does mean that without it, you don't have a working system. As stated in the ipad thread, it's possible to use the editor software and the rack without the console. You can't use soley the ipad app because there are some things it does not control.
