[QUOTE="Scott Bolt, post: 131266, member: 3950"] Re: There is a new rack mounted digital mixer in town Well put. The reason all the manufacturers are falling all over themselves to put out new digital mixers and new tablet applications is because the market is lapping it up. Tim, I would stipulate that there are things about mixing on a tablet that are inferior to a physical surface; however, there are things about mixing on a physical mixer that are inferior to a tablet as well. Setting compressors and gates with that little X32 blue dot on the graphic is pretty darned slick as an example. Having a small version of a full meter bridge across the top of the app is also very nice (as another example). LCD scribble strips with full names along the faders is also pretty cool. As many have pointed out, you are never likely to have your fingers on 4 faders at once on a tablet as you could on a physical surface. For that kind of mixing, it is unlikely that a tablet will ever fit the bill. For many (most?) smaller applications which comprise the lions share of this market, I think you can get along with a tablet pretty well. [/QUOTE]
