Master/My Fader V4 Wants and Speculation
Wynnd:
I would suggest that when setting channels up, you leave extra channels for singers and drums. You can always remove unused channels from views and will have an easier time adding musicians in the meantime.
Jkowtko:
I don't think its all that important that the I out channels are displayed in order on the display. If you have to access an XLR jack you're going to go straight to that jack based in its number, not by counting faders on your display. Groups and DCAs are out of sequence anyway.

Multichannel .WAV file size limit configurability
Having recording switch to a new .WAV after every 2GB leads to a lot of required effort in stitching long recordings back together in the DAW (for me, Logic Pro X).
The manual states:
--- Quote ---In order to achieve maximum compatibility with DAWs and other pieces of hardware, we must ensure that the .wav files we produce are less than 2 GB. It takes a very long time to get to 2 GB when you are recording a stereo .wav file but what about for a 24 chan- nel wav file? With that many channels all in one file, 2 GB comes after just around 10 minutes of recording.

Fine, but if some DAWs can handle larger files, let the file size limit be configurable to a larger size to reduce the work required for reassembly.
Michael Welter:
While we're on the topic of recording, how about the ability to select which channels to record, without having to patch the channels. For example, if I want to record 10 channels, I could open up a popover, allowing me to select which 10 channels to record.

Let's say I have a group with 6 singers (Channels 1 - 6), 5 instruments (channels 7 - 11), and drums (channels 12 - 18). Then, a new singer joins the group. So I want to move the instruments and drums one channel to the right, so I can put the new singer on channel 7.

I'm trying to imagine how you'd deal with the actual XLR connections in this scenario. Would you physically pull every XLR from 18 thru 7 and move them one jack to the right? Or would expect to connect the new singer to input jack #19 and simply map that to channel 7 on the display? Do this a couple of times and any type of troubleshooting would become a nightmare. If you just want 1-6 and 19 to appear together in sequence, can't that be done with view groups? Not criticizing just asking

On the X-Air, you can plug into any spare channel and go to the setup screen and "drag" that fader between 6 and 7 - way cool! :)
