[QUOTE="Eric Eskam, post: 73163, member: 2124"] Re: X16 Preview I heartily agree with you. There is a car commercial (Cadillac?) that prattles on about moving cars into the "tablet age" as if it's some triumph and I just feel like yelling at the TV having to look down to locate some virtual control when I could feel for and adjust a physical control without having to take my eyes off the road is not an improvement! It's marketing BS. Then again, I would imagine the target audience for this thing isn't going to necessarily be sitting in front of it throughout the entire show - if your only making occasional adjustments, especially before the show, then I can see where lack of physical controls isn't probably as big an issue. OK - sure. But why wouldn't they just pick something else then? Why does this product have to change or be "Fatally flawed" just because it doesn't meet your needs? I'm not necessarily that enthused for it either, but I'm sure there are more than enough people for whom it will fit their needs and workflow in a positive way. Behringer must think so or they wouldn't be bringing it to market! And no matter what you think of them, they are a pretty successful company and have shown they know how to make money. Says who? Why? Printers require a computer or something to feed them. Should all printers come bundled with a computer? What the heck is "requisite components"?
