[QUOTE="Steve Kirby, post: 146038, member: 9411"] Re: Soundcraft Si Impact I'm the fairly recent owner of an Expression 2 and the price reduction on the Impact killed me. If I only waited another month and a half. The Impact has what the Expression is missing, for a couple hundred more than I paid at the current pricing. The individual trim controls on the Expression are nice but I've never had any issue with using the one in the main channel strip. And I'd gladly give that up for scribble strips. I don't do much complex layer routing and sub grouping, but the scribble strips would make this much easier to deal with. I find the iPad app usable for walking the room and making minor tweaks but I wouldn't want to run a show from it.
