What's the deal with 100mm faders? Can someone please explain?

But don't you miss the direct outs?
Not really - one of the main attractions for me is the fact it has decent A/D conversion built in. I was previously looking at something like SSL Alpha-Link AX and a Toft ATB 24, but it was goona come in at nearly 6 grand, which is too much for me.

I'd only need direct outs if I bought better converters like the Alphalink - other than that I can't think of any other reason to have them.

I really want to get back to mixing as something I enjoy and away from automation - where a mix is more like a 'performance' if you will; when it comes to that, riding faders and so forth I just prefer 100mm - hard to identify, but 60mm don't feel 'right'.
