[QUOTE="Scott Bolt, post: 83771, member: 3950"] Re: X16 Preview Could someone tell me a few things about the iX16? First, The iX16 is listed as part of the X32 family and in the download section appears to share the same remote software as the X32, but the internals of the iX16 is not exactly like the X32 as it has only 8 buses. How can the same software be used? Are all the features of the X32 included with the iX16 (mute groups, DCA's, user parameters, etc)? If not then can we expect a slightly different software front end to appear (like an iX16 Control vs XControl)? Second, The iX16 clearly has less I/O capability than the X32, therefore you obviously can't have nearly as many outputs to control things with. I am fine with that as the iX16 does appear to have everything I would need to replace my MixWiz (and then some). What I am concerned about is the sound quality. Just having the same mic pres doesn't really mean that the iX16 will sound as good as the X32 (which everyone that has used universally agrees has quite good sound). My question is does the iX16 share the same processing power source as the X32 or is it a less powerful processor. I suppose that it may not need quite as much processing since it doesn't have as many potential FX units running at the same time as the X32 does, but nearly so since it is possible that all 16 channels and the main could have considerable processing per channel. Is it the same? Third, I have to admit, the entire bus thing is a bit confusing. Here is my use case and my reasoning on how resources would be used. Please correct or verify my thoughts for me. I want 2 FX for 3 vocalists; reverb and delay. This would take up 2 buses? I want a vocal group created so I can raise and lower vocals together. This takes another bus? I want a GEQ on the main output on the insert. Another bus? I have heard rumor of a pitch correction effect. I would want that on the insert of 3 vocal microphones 3 more buses? 4 IEM mixes going to 4 auxes. 4 more buses? Fourth, Will the efx for the X32 be available for the iX16, or are the efx different? If someone (anyone) could help me out here, it would be greatly appreciated :) [/QUOTE]
