Anyone here who has been holding out for a line mixer should now have enough choices to find one that exactly meets their needs. ALL of these new units look VERY professional and full-featured, like the popular Ashley LX308 and Rane SM82. There are also a LOT of new rack-mount line mixers and scaled-down mix mixers from several manufacturers. It is VERY responsive, with no perceivable latency when grabbing multiple knobs or sliders. The screen seemed to have a lot of glare that's my only criticism. No surprise there I couldn't even get close enough to see it until right before the show closed today! He's really thought this through, but I didn't catch the price. Of course Slate's new Raven multi-touch control surface stole the show and won Best in Show award. The Radar 6 has me the most excited though as it seems at first glance to be the most future-proof and the least limited. Most of these units were announced shortly before the show so may already have been discussed. One of the big themes in new products is standalone recording. LOTS of new products - a very exciting show, with several new thrusts dominating the technical conference (I didn't have much time for the trade show, but am assuming everything shown is for public consumption nevertheless I will try to check each vendor's website first to make sure).
