1.) Mic/Line switch

2.) I would like to have the connectors on the rear side. I don't like to have my cable hell on top of the mixer.

3.) Balanced insert on the channels (not so important, but it would be nice)

4.) direct outs on every channel so I can use this console without the adat outs...

5.) The master bus (master inserts) out to spdif for mixdown.

6.) Wordclock... hello!

Would be nice with better metering.

Hope there will be a update on this little killer mixer.
I'm pretty certain Mike is on the case with all of these for the R24 design - I'm pretty certain all those points have been covered in this thread as good improvements - some of the others that have been suggested are as follows:-

- 100mm Faders
- Solo in Place (one of the biggest criticism of Z16)
- Switchable aux pre/post
- Improved DAW control / motorised faders (too costly IMO, but as an option, might be nice - to be honest i'd be happier if they came up with some kind of recall you could save with your DAW project over motorised faders)
- Mic Pre options (not everyone will need 24 mic pres with the R24 etc, so modularising the pres would make the R24 a flexible beast)

Think that about covers it.

Really excited to see what Mike and co are cooking up with the R24 - if it even addresses 2 or 3 of the biggests 'wishlist' stuff above, it will be exactly what I'm looking for.
