[QUOTE="Alan Geering, post: 66479, member: 2093"] Re: X16 Preview I'm in agreement with the majority here who would like real tactile controls with iPad stuff as a bonus rather than it being the only way to control. There is a market for a cut down x32. Having bought an x32 and facing the challenge of training a team of 12 volunteers on its use I would want the smaller mixer to feel the same. Our church has a hall that is used for many community activities as well as services. Currently we use a small format analog console but it Will need replacing soon. I'm sorry to say that it would be very hard to secure an iPad in this general purpose space. I have a DDX3216 and have had many variants of Yamaha sf digital desks. The rack mount format is popular for good reasons. My DDX rack often holds everything I need for an event (desk, extra ada, processing, amps, PC for recording) though much of this can now be done with less equipment. Finally, if you already have a video edit/production room/suite/van which has cut out for a rack mixer... why not. Short version: x32 compact - x32 but squeezed into rack format. I would buy one for me and one for the church hall. x16 pro - as above but with half of the analog I/o but keep aes 50 I would buy this and an x16 if the x32 compact wasn't available. Namm 2013 announcement means no delivery until august 2013 or even later I would think. Alan [/QUOTE]
