[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 74207, member: 67"] Re: X32 The quick answer is "no." The extended answer is that I came late to the party, so many of the early suggestions have been either implemented or rejected. DigiDesign absolutely does not rush firmware updates unless they are fixes to significant bugs. Much of what people are asking of Behringer are already implemented in the DigiDesign VENUE software (meaningful password protection... not yet, damn it, and "decimal snapshot numbering" for theater is also not yet done), so I'm not sure you can make direct comparisons. Because VENUE is very, very closely tied to ProTools, any changes must be extensively tested before release; likewise if making changes for live use impairs, limits or breaks some feature in ProTools, you can bet they'll never get out of beta test. That said, AVID's main live guy (Robert Scovill -Rush, Tom Petty) indicates the next major upgrade will be huge. AVID spent a bunch of time working out the SC48Remote and Ethernet Snake Card so now that is out of the way I'd expect to see the "new" VENUE software and updated hardware sometime later this year, but have no inside info.
