[QUOTE="Dan Babcock, post: 121380, member: 5031"] Re: iPAD 1 - no longer supported Hello all, First ever post here so I will introduce myself. My name is Dan and I have been doing live sound for well over 10 years now. I currently freelance in the Milwaukee area mostly for production companies. One of my house gigs is for the Budweiser Pavilion[FONT=arial, sans-serif][COLOR=#000000] at the Wisconsin state Fair grounds. We have a weekly free concert series that runs from May thru Sept. as well as other events including the 11 day St. fair run. On a good night there will be about 5000 people there and well over a million for the entire season. The PA is owned by the pavilion owners. There is no outside production company. It is my job to operate, maintain, and make upgrades as needed. So here comes the x32 content. A year ago we determined that it was time to upgrade our old analog console to a new digital. We need more than 24 channels on occasion so that quickly eliminated most of the low cost options. I do not like LS9's, they are way to limited in my opinion.
