Grim up gsqd. Don't be so negative. Every product has things you might want.

After doing a live record gig this past weekend with a Yamaha DM2K MADI and a Nuendo system this past weekend, (and I'm a post engineer) I could see lots of things that needed changing in both camps.
I was curious because of how you slotted these new boxes in at the same point in the "product hierarchy" as I'd put the MCU's (e.g., above mere faderboxes, but beneath products like the $20k Euphonix desktop box).

I'm sure there'll be sexy features that make me go "ooh, ahh", but it appears I'll have to wait and see for myself which ones do the trick for me. The screen is neat; would've been nice of them to put the scribble strips on the faders on the TFT box too, and not only the faderbox. But you can't have everything (esp. at these prices)!

I'm pretty set with my system (this is a year of updating my computer and audio interface; the control surface is (thankfully) finally done and operating to my liking), but I'm sure the adopters here will have lots to thrill to with these things. The transition from mouse to control surface will leave you wondering why you waited so long; hopefully for you the Euphonix proves to have been worth waiting for. That's all that matters, anyway.
