[QUOTE="Scott Bolt, post: 92446, member: 3950"] Re: Darth Fader? Nice ;) I am seriously considering this, but it is a big leap for me...... and I am one of the most aggressively tech leading people I know. My application is mixing from stage while playing in a band. It was my thought to go with MIDI foot control for scene changes and iPad control for gain adjustments and input monitoring from my mic stand. The X32 Rack appears to be the best option out there (almost out there) for such an application, but I still worry about not having a physical control surface. The part of me that is aggressively tech leading says that the mix from stage crowd will most surely go digital with a wireless remote and no physical control surface over the next 10 years without any doubt. Being one of the first only means that I am smart and forward thinking ;) The part of me that hears the army of old sound guys saying that you would be foolish to bet your gig on an iPad or laptop (in my case I intend on having both), is still worried about not having faders. Then there is the engineer in me (I am an electrical engineer) that says that motorized faders and physical knobs and buttons are just one more thing to break or get beer spilled on. What are your thoughts on this Christian? [/QUOTE]
