| Hello,
Well, I don't usually comment on folks' choice of gear - everyone has their personal choices and level of annoyance.
However this topic is amusing to me. A certain NY broadcasting company had Libra Live desks in their trucks for years. They have replaced (all of them? I think) with Vista8s. Every single television mixer I work with has worked on those desks, every single one of them has had numerous crashes. Some required rebooting, some were long term, requiring factory assistance. The desks earned the nickname "Libra Undead". I've seen a couple of shows with Mackie digital consoles on top of the Libra because of the mixer's past experiences.
If you have had good luck with your Libras, congratulations. I don't disparage your choice of using something that sounds good and may have the functionality you need. However the desks do not have a good reputation among TV mixers for their consistently bad reliability.
My useless opinions (observed)
