So Geri and anyone else who have used both LS9 and X32. If you had to choose between buying an X32 new or a LS9-32 used, which would you choose? The LS9 is going to be about $2000 more, but pretend that isn't an issue. Which one do you purchase?
I currently run two Presonus StudioLive 16.4.2s, at first I was happy with them (my first ever digital boards) but as time goes on I am getting less happy with them. I have used LS9 multiple times and I like it.
It's true that the Presonus are more "one touch" than the LS9 (out of the box at least). However, if you use your "user defined keys" on the LS9, it becomes much more one touch (comparable to the Presonus).
Apples to apples - X32 with 32ch of digital snake vs LS9-32 with 32ch of digital snake? I'm assuming the price wouldn't even be close. I'd take the X32, although neither option thrills me. Make sure you have at least a computer running online editor, naming and routing and such from that little screen is awful.
