[QUOTE="Caleb Dueck, post: 77105, member: 60"] Re: Yamaha DM1000 too much horsepower? The issue really isn't having too much capability (just don't use it if not needed); like Silas said, it's about how fast and easy it is to interact with it. If you want to sell it and replace - there's not much in that price range worth looking at. If you really want analog, the new Midas Venice U mixers look great. Digital, with eye on easy to use - higher price point. The X32 is OK (FOR THE PRICE - key point), but it's not the most intuitive to use. The X32 Compact is even worse - layers galore. It's worth the small price jump just to (partially) negate this with the full sized X32. My 2c - keep the DM1000 for now, saving money until you can afford what has the capabilities you need now, the future capabilities you can grow into, and the user interface that makes sense. Most likely, it'll cost a good bit more than whatever you'll pick up from a used DM1000. A local church is getting a Midas Pro2 - it happens to fit their capabilities both now and near future, and the user interface fits their specific use well. We recommended a smaller/lower cost option, but the user interface and ease of use of how they mix, they requested to spend more on the Pro2. Oh - congregational seating size has zero bearing on technical capabilities needed. We've seen extremes of tiny congregation sizes needing full Midas/Avid/etc level consoles, and 5,000 seat where 8ch is fine. [/QUOTE]
