QSC TouchMix
yigba:
I don't know - that touch screen looks mighty small. And if the IPad breaks you get a new one. If that touch screen breaks the unit goes bye bye for a while to be fixed. I'll take the detachable IPad.

In many bands, there are at least one other musician who has either an ipad or iphone that can act as a back up. I've got an ipad 2 and an iphone 4S. The trombone player has an ipad too. (He loaded up Master Fader, but My Fader will work on it fine too.)

Nice looking video and yes it is feature rich. My whole system is QSC K series so I do trust the brand. But then over the years I've owned a lot of Mackie stuff too and never really had any series complaints.
What I'm thinking is what will the PA world look like in just 2 years, wow things are exploding. How about the new EV powered tops with a built in computer for settings for $399. It is a great time to still be playing. I too am 60 years old and coming off a major broken right arm Three breaks in the upper arm but guess what I can play again. First partial gig is Saturday. Will mix half the night on my DL and play the other half.
Sorry to babble but in the end I feel we are all friends here :D

Features, which make it very interesting:
- channel selective phantom power
- DCA-Groups with PARAMETRIC EQ
- Multitrack recording
- more I/O

The price is going to be key.
I would really like to add the 16 channel recording option to every gig.
I used to be able to do that with my previous mixers but it involved bringing a laptop and a lot of extra hassle plus firewire sync issues that randomly killed the FOH output :-[
Now I don't have that option anymore, I think I need it again ;D
How this compares in price to a QU-16 is going to be the killer for me.
I have no plans to part with the DL, it's too handy and versatile & having two small "virtual fader" equipped mixers might be foolish.
Recently there has been a large gulf in the prices between UK and US musical equipment, if this is $1299 in the US, it will probably end up £1299 here in the UK :(
