I'm finally making the leap past my Yamaha MG10 mixer.
There's an old thread where we were debating the merits of the QSC Touchmix 8, the Bose Tonematch 4, and some others as an upgrade for my ceremony rig. I was always worried with the QSC that having fader control on the screen might be clunky to work with in the moment and that I couldn't make real-time adjustments as fast as I'd like. Or be on the wrong page or something and not have immediate access to what I wanted. And on the Tonematch - it would work with my exact ceremony set up but had no room to grow. Occasionally I'll have a guitar player or something that want to play through my system during a ceremony and I didn't want to be super constrained on inputs.
In addition, I've got a wedding this fall where the couple are musicians and want to have a number of their friends play throughout their wedding and I was planning to rent something that could handle more inputs.
So yesterday I saw Ben Stowe's post on Facebook in the DJIS group on the Digilive 16, and decided to pick one up.
This is certainly more mixer than I need for an average wedding ceremony, but I'm excited to have it as an option. It avoids my fears of only having screen based faders like the Touchmix, and opens up way more capability for me to take on projects larger than my Yamaha can handle.
I'm pretty excited to dig into this thing and start learning it!
