Basically, if we get rid of the preamps (which as stated before, many people don't need this product for. I for example only really record either vocalists or 1 other thing at a time), can we exchange the cost of the preamps for the cost of motorized faders? I think if you have that, warm analogue sound, and daw integration, you will have a killer product that a whole different group of artists will buy...
Still, thinking about it as it is

I pretty much agree with you, but the more traditional crowd are strong in voice, the force is with them
. Look at the calls for direct outs for example. You and I would rarely if ever use them, just like we wont be using 16 mic pres.
I don't personally see a different version aimed at users like us being made, but who knows.?
It has bothered me a teensy bit that I'm paying for mic pres I wont use, but then again A+H cant please everyone all the time. I also considered all this before buying it so I knew what I was getting in to. I weighed it all up and it came down to the analog path, real EQ and fader knobs...and the ergonomics of something real to touch, something tha reacts with you and your music. For me stuff like that is crucial.
However I know you really want to know if it has MOJO but as I stated in my post a few above I just haven't been able to find the time as the mac/euphonix set up I bought at the same time has pretty much consumed me. My hunch based on the little time i have used it is you can get Mojo but I think we need to keep in mind there is no degradation in the sound, perhaps colourisation is a better word. I dont think a mix will be cuddly warm with a bit of added dirt, Im betting punchy and clear with a colour that will be different from an in the box mix that may stand out from the usual ITB mix. I will get on it as soon as I can and report back.

Alright, this might be a stupid question, but maybe someone here has experience w/ both...
I have been hearing a LOT of good things about the dangerous 2-bus summing mixer. Obviously, a LOT of very high profile mix engineers swear by this product, which costs almost exactly as much as our little zed r16.
So, since zed r16 is also an analogue summing box, how does its summing compare to the dedicated 2-bus unit? Obviously I know you get many other things w/ the zed, but out of curiosity, how does the summing (esp the "punch" and stereo image said to be gotten from the dangerous 2-bus being SO highly praised) compare on these two units?

I think you would be bonkers to pass on the Zed for the D2B. I have my reasons which I wont go in to here. If I said the users of such products would be down on me like a ton of bricks. The Zed is a lot more than a summing box.
