Pros know what they need from the sound coming off the stage.  And can tweak a graphic or find a center frequency on a strip often without looking at it.  Or at least not staring at the panel for 60 seconds.  But I see a lot of folks in clubs entranced with digital board displays and completely unaware of what's going on on stage.  Anything that gets them to look up (or spend less time looking down) so I can get their attention is a good thing when my muso's hat is on.

Why would you need my attention?  I'm mixing your house sound.  Unless the stage is on fire I probably don't need to see you.

Monitors?  We hire a person to do that. ;)

I like to watch the performance. Other people have to pay for that.
And I'd much rather watch a bad act than hear them lol.

Those people would mix just as badly on an analog rig.  Don't blame the tools.

Thanks!  It seemed like it might be small enough to rack mount if you removed the plastic molding on the sides.  That makes a great deal of sense.

If you're mixing on one of these, you're doing monitors.   
(someone else to mix monitors, what a concept.  You are spoiled! LOL)


And its always good to watch the stage, Otherwise you won't know till it's too late when Mr Shouty-pants and Miss Whisper switch mics, with one disappearing and the other one blowing up your tops.

(yeah I know, you have limiters too.  Tops are safe, just not the audience)

If you are watching the stage, how do you keep up with your cues in the script?

An X32 (the big one) can be had for under $2300 (+ shipping) ($2600+ shipping with case).  Hard to beat that for function or value.

MIDAS M32R - $3000.00
Yamaha TF1 - $2500.00
Soundcraft Si Expression 1 $2500.00
Qu-16 - $2000.00
X32 Compact - $2000.00
X32 Producer - $1500.00

Don't forget the QSC TouchMix-16 - $1300

The Yamaha seems to offer presets and "simple" settings for novices and advanced (unlocked adjustment) settings for sound folks, very similar to what the QSC offers.

I like the "touch and Turn" concept. Roland's consoles also use a similar feature for adjustment.

I'm so old, when I was doing FOH for Tommy Dorsey, to balance out the horn section I would slide their chairs downstage and upstage to mix!

I do however like the fact that the presets are for different microphones instead of "Kick", "Snare", "Male Vocal" etc.... I find myself using similar eq settings for a certain mic on a wide range of instruments rather than the other way around....


Not that I would ever need or want the presets, but at least it's a step in the right direction.

Where were all of these options when my feeble old mind went digital? Oh, that's right. They didn't exist.

I think it looks freaking awesome.  I would imagine these ideas are going to move up to some higher market level products too.
