[QUOTE="Brad Weber, post: 68370, member: 114"] Re: X16 Preview The counterpoint sems to be that if an iPad is so integral to the operation then why do the manufacturers not offer the option to purchase the mixer as a functioning system including the iPad? It seems to be the manufacturers preesnting the iPad as not being an integral component and promoting people using their personal iPads/iPods/iPhones, especially when comparing the related cost to more traditional options. Such mixers also create new situtaions when you think about them from the perspective of a dealer or Contractor providing a system for a church, club, auditorium, etc. How do they provide a functioning system and a warranty on the system installation? Is a venue really going to hand the iPad that is required for a functioning system to some drugged out flake as Mackie seems to suggest and thus that many bands may expect? It essentially comes down to these devices often seeming much more appropriate as an individual's personal mixer rather than some venue's or entitiy's mixer and if used in the latter scenrios may be best to do so with an iPad permanently docked.
