[QUOTE="Dan Mortensen, post: 115751, member: 2826"] Re: MUSIC Group Reviews - Unhappy Staff I don't really feel I am owed any explanations from anyone. The situation is what it is, and I (and maybe we) are so outside the food chain that it is irrelevant to me. I will say that the very rich are different than you and I, and by and large deal with people differently, in my experience. Those at my level are tools to be used to accomplish the goal and are useful when they are useful and no longer useful when they are no longer useful. There are a number of rich people around here, and without getting too far into the weeds, I did some work for one of them for a while. Peripheral to his main business, central to mine but not a substantial amount, and I was there because of a friend of mine who was integral to an aspect of big guy's hobbies. I was involved every six months or so for a couple of years, and there were a number of people who were involved weekly if not daily on an ongoing basis, for years. Big guy changed his mind at some point about the degree to which he wanted to pursue his avocations, and particularly the one that I was peripherally involved in. I never got called again as a result. Since I wasn't privy to his thinking at all, or really aware in any way of what was going on, I kind of wondered if things were proceeding as they were but without me. A few years later I learned that he stopped his thing pretty much altogether, and that the people he was seeing weekly or daily simply stopped getting called one day, and were never called again. With all the openings/closings of offices/service centers/etc. that Behringer has done, there have to be a large bunch of people and their families who were seriously inconvenienced, which has to be an understatement. With that large bunch available, it's almost surprising that there are so few negative comments on that website (which I could only read page 1 as I don't want to subscribe). I admire Uli's brilliance in figuring out how to do what he's done, particularly with the consoles I love so much, as well as his drive to put it all together and balance all the pieces that make it work. I'm sad for the people who were ground up in some way to grease the wheels, and hope they got something out of it while it lasted for them, and that they get something even better as a result of their experience. We are all pawns in an uncaring corporate and political world, to one extent or another, and it is a bummer when that fact is presented to you directly. As Rob pointed out in another subthread of this thread, none of this has anything to do with the mixer that this thread is about. The mixer exists now, and will continue to exist for some time into the foreseeable future, and we should talk about that. For whatever turns out to be the reason, I also expect it to stop existing at some time in the future and am mentally prepared for that change, which I hope is years away. I would be quite happy if 2.01 beta turned into 2.1 non-beta, and the iPad app were made to work with 2.1 as reliably as it did with 1.15. I have a festival coming up at the end of the month with 9 X32s and 2 Racks present, and it would be great to have the v2 features available. I will be equally happy when the Behringer CAT STP snake cable becomes available, and it is available in various lengths up to 100 meters. The "various lengths" part is important, because I don't want to lug 100 meters of snake to every gig, and the lugging is not only the CAT but also AC and some analog drive/utility lines (headsets, etc.).
