I've never worked with cues and a script so I really hadn't thought of that.  We do live in different worlds. 

I work with bands that often work without set lists and change up on the fly in order to work the crowd.  If I don't watch, they'll do something that basically pulls my pants down in front of the crowd.  I have to watch.

(and I was confused and thought I was replying to the Presonus thread as well!)


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

What?! You're talking crazy talk there. Everyone knows that if you can't see something, then you can't hear it. Just ask every college lighting design professor.  ::)

I may be all wet here since I retired, but I always did like keeping my eye on that crazy lead singer that tended to run in front of the PA the second I had to look at an FX rack.

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.


Not to be nitpicky, but I wouldn't call the QSC Touchmix a true digital board, more of Digilogue because the gain/trim/HA is still manual like the DL1608 & SL.

It looks great.

Earlier in this thread there was a mention of May 2016? Was that a typo?

one knob eq and one knob compressor is listed as a feature... I consider this a strong hinderance.  hopefully that 'feature' can be disabled for a more traditional big boy approach. 

It looks like an odd mix of prosumer and pro level desk at a price thats in between both as well.  Im a big ls9 fan but I dont see buying this.  QL looks worth the extra money.

If you watched the videos or read the brochure, you can turn off the 1 knob feature and use the touchscreen or "Touch n Turn" knob to adjust full parameters.

This is a digital version of the MG line. It has the preamps and the 1 knob compression from the MG line of entry level mixers. The touch-n-turn seems like a cool idea, but also seems cumbersome too. Now it takes two hands to do what 1 could do? Select the band, Q, or frequency and then turn the knob, or use two fingers on the tft screen. The touch -n-turn requires that you place your finger on one option while you turn a decoder with the other?

You can do it with the same hand, bouncing back and forth from the touch screen to the Touch-n-Turn knob.


I usually have my left hand on the faders or some other option and use my right hand for the TnT knob. This is what I do on the CL5. I find it faster and than using the on surface controls for things like basic EQ and compression settings. I really, really like the Touch n Turn feature of the CL5 and I think it will be great on the TF series.

I like that I can keep similar touch memory in my hand between digicos and GLD and etc because everyone has the T2T knob the right below the screen. So I can get on board with this I think. There are still those UD encoders.
