A TANGO has been living in the lab for a few weeks now - and I am getting work done with the computer 30 times faster, easily. It is really a great product so far in my experience and I very much admire the feature set the TANGO offers. The Grouping makes you lightening fast with relative gain changes and solo's and mute groups. The touch screen gives straight ahead layout, and the "chair" mode with the MONARC - easily wrangles a large multi-track right before your eyes. When your working on many tracks - you can "hold" them so they stay on the fader board while you dial through the various tracks. Using the Logic EQ and Compressor with a touch of the finger and swift move to the right hand encoders, really saves me time and keeps me engaged with the application in front of me. One finger and they are on/off. You can even call up a LARGE screen shot of the equalizer and sweep gain and center points with your finger. Also, calling up any of our plugs and dialing them in is simple!!! What normally takes 10-15 min. with the mouse, takes less than 1 minute with the TANGO.
