oh wow, this is the godfather of audio consoles and he knows everything soooo much better. Amen. I really have to admit, all the other guys here in this thread are so damn idiots. skygod is the only one who knows.

Both have ABDOLUTELY missed the mark.
Venice F32: Firewire? Why? Run analog IO into AES PCIe or MADI PCIe and forget latency. FW is dead you brain dead MIDAS numbskulls.
And the latter? 10 grand for what? A downscaled version of the GL4800?
This piece of brilliant engineering couldn't light a chandle under my GL4800 mixers behind LOL.
That's it folks, keep taking quantum stupid leaps backwards. Hey instead of listening to your brain dead marketeers who have no clue what end users actually need and use in the marketplace, why not try to devlop products that are affordable that actually have something useful to offer as DAW quality mixdown platforms that, are you ready for this, imagine a console that doubles duty for studio and live usage as well. OMG! The Horror!
Huh? Like imporoving what already works? Here's an idea: Imporve the XL4 and XL3 by downsizing both chassis and reissuing both as MKIIs with the parametric mods already installed
and you other A&H brainiacs improve the GL4800 and put better metering and sturdier faders. Oh I forgot, you just discontinued it. Idiots!
It seems the further we move into the future ... the closer we get back to where we started. Any news yet on the resiuue of the Studer 820?
