motorfaders are eyecandy for someone - to me just the most ultimate annoying feature

Never liked multimillion PT-system with lots of them nor other cheaper systems using them. Mute groups were more suitable to my workflow. Live or studio.

Well in my opinion you want something better. Take a look at the Tascam DM-3200. You can use it for both live and studio applications. Where i think the StudioLive fails, that in my opinion its a LiveStudio mixer. In other words its more for recording live shows. For purposes of studio, i don't think its very studio like. You can't use it as a DAW controller. Which i think is very important for a studio! The DM-3200 has motorized faders, 16 of them with full DAW cotrol for playback, record, and eq, etc. for the price of a thousand dollars extra. I should of definitely gone with it.

I do more studio work than live, and StudioLive mixer is just an interface. I should of just bought two Firestudios to get my 16 channels and save some money. If you notice their promotional videos they're mostly about live application... I would honestly like to see more studio capabilities than using it with Capture (which is decent, but definitely not for studio production).

I mean how much more could it cost to make the faders motorized a couple of hundred, that would still be a great price, i mean afterall what sense would it make to be able to recall everything except for your fader volumes.

Motorized faders would bring the price up. the low price of these consoles is what makes them so attractive. But that may be something Presonus could do– make a motorized fader version and price it accordingly. In the small to medium sound reinforcement market, these consoles are priced great. And they are much easier to learn and get around on for an inexperienced user. We have some for rental consoles and it is a real quick learn for a rental customer to get up to speed to mix on the board. we have LS9s and M7s, but they only go out with experienced operators, at a much higher cost!!

I am wrong on my GEQ question!! Of course it is a 1/3 octave GEQ so the second page would be 25-31!!! Doh!!!

Hey Rick!

What's the official release date for the 24.4.2? I've seen available in about 3 proaudio dealers, but many without. I love the 16.4.2 and can barely wait for it's big brother! Everytime we do worship, someone's asking about the board.

Thanks!
