I am a former LS9 user, and though I used the feature you’re describing, I see no real value to it. More than once I eq’d a channel other than the one I intended, due to an inadvertant touch, and became very “single function” in my mixing.

I prefer selecting a channel to make changes without worrying about making fader changes to other channels. ie – eq a vocalist while pulling down the keys, fx, or other – can’t be done with “touch fader” active. I thought your way when I switched to the iLive, but haven’t missed that feature or even thought about it until this post.

I’d rather see A&H put resources in other areas…

As a previous user of digidesign that was one feature I was very glad my iLive did not have, if you mix with your fingers on a number of faders at once then the constant selecting and re-selecting of various channels drove me mad. But as often said “different folks Different strokes”
