I love analog boards but in this day and age and with record budgets what they are fader only automation is just not worth it to me... I have 5 or 6 cd going at a time and I need to recall them instantly....I also agree about the summing... never really saw the point or rather heard the point... but if i had the api lying around i might consider it for that purpose.... as well as tracking of course....

I only suggest the icon because if you really put the time in and do all your plugin mapping you can operate it very much like an analog board in terms of hands on operation.... and have total recall... the euphonix is a toy.. and since a used d command is about half the cost of flying faders.. and if you had the room it's not the worst "hybrid idea in the world.... in fact I've thought of doing a similar thing next year with a tonelux setup perhaps using it as a center section of a hybrid analog digital console and the footprint will be very managable right now i use about 32 channels of outboard neves and apis, wunder etc... nice but i have to do a lot more running around the room for tracking
