Granted I'm quite comfortable mixing from iPad - maybe 20 gigs on the SL version and now three on my X32 Compact - but two weeks ago I stopped by to see a band I know at a new venue and they were self mixing from stage using a DL1608. For the 20% of your gigs that one of your normal BEs does not handle I'm guessing the iPad interface would not significantly deter most engineers these days. Guido: Seems like you've already decided on the Rack but that would be what I recommend for your situation anyway. That's maybe $400 more than a S16 but you'd have a fully redundant system.
ACAPELLA APP ANDROID PROBLEMS FULL
Use one as a stage box when needed and also as a full backup if your primary one goes down. Yea, the S16 is spendy enough that if I were you I'd seriously consider just buying two Racks. Bottom line is they all work similarly enough that I don't think you'll have problems finding someone to work the app for your Rack. At the first break I went up to talk and they showed me the Mackie iPad app and after literally a 60-second introduction I took it and mixed their next two sets (free on my part). But would we REALLY be limiting ourselves by only being able to hire engineers who not only are familiar with the X32, but are familiar with running it from the iPad app? Guido: Seems like you've already decided on the Rack but that would be what I recommend for your situation anyway. Which brings up a couple of questions: A) would we be limiting ourselves in our choice of available sound engineers by telling them they have to use our X32? Or are most sound engineers familiar with that board or other similar digital mixers these days? B) One option I'd consider is buying the X32 Rack version and running it remotely. Then if we like that setup, the idea would then be to sell the MixWiz monitor mixer we have and our old, rarely used Yamaha FOH mixer and put that money towards our own X32 to use on the few gigs they don't mix for us. The plan is to just run our monitors through their board and let everyone run their own mix remotely. They've been using it for about a year now (they used a Presonus before that.) Definitely seems like a really good' date=' really versatile board. We use the same two sound engineers for about 80% of our gigs who both use the same X32 board.

In a matter of moments I routed the Main L/R to a matrix and gave him is own separate level and output. As an example' date=' last night at a wedding gig, I had an individual come up with a recorder and XLR cable asking for a feed to record speeches. It provides so many options I never knew I needed.
