![]() With the new VCA and POP group unfolding and member editing function, managing these unique console functions becomes a simple and easy task. Mixtender 2’s new features include full-screen EQ editing which allows accurate tweaks of individual channel signals. Support for multiple simultaneous iPads allows FOH and monitor engineers to work collaboratively from any location in the venue. Combining control of most key functions with responsive system metering, engineers can take control of any PRO-series or XL8 console using an iPad. ![]() I'd say there's no competition (personally) between the GLD and the Pro1, the iLive is a closer competitor in the form of the T80 but given the choice, I'd still get the Midas.Mixtender 2 for MIDAS Pro Series Consolesĭelivering an unprecedented range of control and mobility, the Mixtender 2 App has been completely re-imagined with input from the very engineers who know MIDAS mixers best. I've never used the trackball any further into a gig than the patch and name (both of which I usually do before anyway). In the last 9 months and countless house spent mixing on it. First time I used them, I didn't like the idea of having to use a trackball during a gig. People have mentioned to me about the trackball on the Pro series. I realise these are much more expensive consoles however I feel that a touch UI isn't any good without a decent touch screen. I personally don't like the touchscreen in the A&H range at all, the GLD is better than the iLive in that respect but nothing as good as either the CL or Digico touchscreens. Side chaining, iPad app, offline editor, etc. There's plenty of features in the Midas that the A&H doesn't have. The Pro2c sound is classic Midas, there is something there that I can't put my finger on however it's a good thing. There is a vast difference between the sound from the Midas and the A&H. ![]() GLD on stage 2 and Pro2c stage 1 FOH with an iLive T112 on monitors. ![]() I've had a GLD and Pro2c at a festival together. While as an engineer I always have a preference, all of the current crop of digital desks achieve good audio quality results. And that is becoming more and more about digital audio transport systems, and less about things like plugins. Most of the differences between consoles nowadays are to do with functionality. They may have differences, sure, but gone are the days of 2 different consoles with vastly different sound qualities for similar money. Because pretty much all the latest consoles from the various manufacturers at a given price point all sound great. These days, I've stopped picking desks based on sound quality. I am a freelance engineer, I don't represent any console manufacturers. Has anyone heard the sound quality in a live environment compared to a Midas? The layout seemed very good and was nice to build a mix on from a multi track recording. I had a demonstration on the new Allen and Heath GLD console (aswell as the ilive) last week. ![]() Thanks for the replies guys, and Josh I will try and see him when I am next in town. ![]()
