For a small to medium sized band mixing sound from the stage this makes life easier and your band sound better. Great sounding preamps, effects and processing.

This little mixer saves me two trips on every load-in compared to my previous rig and setup/sound checks go much faster now. Plus we've finally been able to tame the sound of an unruly resonator guitar that always gave us fits in the past. So happy with this! close [-]

The money you save on outboard eq gates and compressors alone will pay for this unit. Sounds great. Easy interface. And I can create snapshots of a band so that the next time they play my venue.

And when my band plays I can make adjustments from the stage. 24 channels would have been nice but this unit is well worth the price. Get ya one. close [-]

Very very good sounding preamps, very easy to use format. A little funky getting used to "Touch-Control surface" mixing.

The master fader app has froze up a few times but I was able to re-start the software and Wi-Fi connection with no drop outs or noise while the band was playing through it. I'm looking forward to a better app upgrade with much needed stuff such as, shows & snapshots are not highlighted when engaged. You don't rally know which show or snapshot you are working with, kinda stupid don't ya' think! Anyway I don't even want to think of going back to my old analog board. close [-]

This mixer does have its limitations. Only 16 channels, no inserts, blah blah blah.

Not only that, but multiple ipads can be wirelessly connected to the mixer, which makes mixing monitors a breeze close [-]

Just plain a great mixer. I'm an old school sound guy so anytime a digital unit is this easy to switch to I'm all for it. Very easy to learn and setup. The wireless works great.
