| Agreed, Bob. I spent 20 years on the road doing FOH. While some digital console aspects are great (recalling scenes or song set-ups, storing EQ curves, etc.), the thought of mixing "in-the-box" is frightening, indeed. Besides, there's already enough latency being 60-100 feet from the stage!
Trying to integrate an in-the-box mentality into the "real" world is something that will have to be done VERY carefully. There's no substitute for being able to quickly grab a fader when the doofus lead singer sticks the mic into his monitor for a "cool efffect".
