Wondering, If i am looking to go digital mixer in 2018 would you look at the Behringer x32 or the presonus studiolive 32 series III or something else. Our sound people are very very analog. So I would not want to throw something at them that would have a large learning curve.
But I do want:
– quality on board effects and compression
– ability to go in ear with on stage ipad control (so I also do not have to purchase a complete in ear system seperately)
Hey Mike! I dont know about the Pre-Sonus StudioLive. I know that in the past, PreSonus didn’t have mechanical faders, which people harped on a lot. That may be fixed in the newer models, but I’m not 100% sure. My old church had an X32 and it was REALLY good for the money. Had lots of power and flexibility with effects, and had an app to control individual Aux sends (monitor sends). We really liked it (although it doesn’t have a touch-screen, but there are tablet apps that can take care of that). The good thing about the X32 is it is the most popular digital sound board ever sold, so there are TONS of video tutorials online. My friend Kade Young has a very thorough video course on the X32 that you can find at http://www.collaborateworship.com . The main thing is to do tons of research and find the right board for your situation. I hope that helps! God bless you and thanks for listening and for commenting. 🙂
