Btw,I have a Presonus console which is being demoted to the “bsnds console”. Yes, it does have a selector switch to send effects to DAW track… But, no moving faders, no recallable gain, no DAW interface, no touchscreen and the eq is more limited. The 24ch is also more expensive which is strange. There are also many stories of in gig failures.
But its cool when it goes. A&H just offers more.
PS: Why would you want to record with FX etc when it can be done in retrospect and the focus is OFF tracking. Much more room for experimentation with dry tracks.
I provide the consoles features and fx to players during the session (send basic fx to keep players happy) but prefer my own time for decisions in mixing. Tracking is a separate process.
