You both have valid points. yes, using ipad to handle monitors works but some prefer tactile. Totally understand features of the larger desks, but surprised at a couple routing trade offs…really only expansion card related. Though having individual patch ability vs banks of 8 is SOOO worth it! DANTE/AVB should really be integrated at the snake level at least. Others in same price point have it with comparable pres…imho. Will try the Mac/PC/Dante approach as well.
Glad to bounce ideas around…it can only get better 🙂 cheers all
