Did you ever ask yourself how guys like John Milner or Dave Schumann seem to be outrunning the likes of Music Group SW or Mackie? Are these company powerhouses just spending their time in meetings dreaming about the future?
Agreed! Though, I must say that I really like Master Fader 4. My biggest (really only) reasons for moving to the Behringer are that I don't like having to run to the actual hardware to adjust gains, and I wanted a 16-ish channel mixer in a rack-mount package. Oh, and I was able to get another absolute "no-brainer" deal on the factory rep's demo unit, like I did on my DL1608.
Unfortunately, Dave is apparently no longer involved in the X-Air Android app. I have been told that he was asked to port his X32 app the the X-Air (whcih he did), but Music Group have taken over maintenance and future development. And their last version of the app broke compatibility with some Android devices, causing them to display meter data that is completely out of whack. For instance, when I run the X-Air app on my "better" AstroTab A10 8-core tablet with a 1280x800 display, the mix page meters all show signals about 20db higher than the actual level. Other folks seem to have incorrect meters appearing in other screens, but not the main mix screens. My el-cheapo Digiland tablets all match up reasonably well to the PC, Linux, and MacOS programs. However, David's own apps for other mixers seem to work perfectly on the AstroTab.
