[QUOTE="Stephen.Porter, post: 97215, member: 2480"] Live Musical Theater I have been using my X32 for live musical theater productions (Into the Woods / The Drowsy Chaperone / Singin' in the Rain) for the past 6 months. These and most of the productions I have mixed for the past 20 years use 15-20 wireless mics, boundary mics, orchestra mics and recorded SFX . My X32 has been great for this kind of show, especially considering the price. After 6 months and 40-50 performances with my X32 there are a few things about this desk that I would like to see improved. 1. The scene memory is too small and difficult to edit. Most of the shows I mix use upwards of 200 cues. Also, I often find it necessary to add a cue between two existing cues without renumbering all the following cues. For this I need a decimal point in the cue numbers. I hope the next major update will include these. For the present I just continue to use notes in my script. 2. I wish there was an "undo" capability that would restore the state of the console as it was prior to the last button press / knob turn / fader change. Call it an "Oops" button. Perhaps it could be a function assignable to one of the user-assignable buttons. Multiple levels of undo would be nice, but even one level would save me a lot of grief. 3. I have my console set to "Select follows solo" mode to help prevent making gain/dynamics/EQ changes to the wrong channel. Unfortunately when more than one channel is soloed and one of the channel solo buttons is cleared that channel gets selected. Not exactly what I would expect! I think in this mode turning on solo on a channel should select that channel, but turning off solo on a channel should not change the current selection. 4. It sure would be nice if pressing a "Select" button that is already active (lighted) a second time would de-select that channel/buss/dca, leaving nothing selected so that the upper-left portion of the console would be dark and any channel specific screen would instead display "No Channel Selected". I think this would further help prevent unintended changes. Comments welcome! [/QUOTE]
