stunning but they both have pro's & con's
What would you say the pros and cons
of each are?

Well the biggest is the ''flying faders'' and then the recalling and then the ''feel'' to
the desk(s) .... There's a lot better around but then there is A LOT worst
around for MORE money :?

Now that's a Bargain, nice one! My fave is an APB ProRack House mixer. it's the dog's bollox. And as a piece of rack
gear, it's bloomin amazing.

Picked up that final IPR1600:  Now my ATA case for my StudioLive 24.4.2 has
arrived!! Brutal soft case while I found the right ATA case. Better than
nothing, but not much.  New case!

I have heard some very nice things about the APB mixers, and considering it is the same
engineers responsible for the HP8 etc. from Crest I am not to surprised.

interesting. One of the best sounding mixer/eq I ever used (with a good PA, mind) was a
Crest a few years ago now, in Waterford. Or was it Cork? Too many years ....

There's a lot
better around for the same money as the Presonus: tell us all then, I couldn't see
anything that comes close nevermind being better.

Not the best bit of kit but really useful - I just bought a sound level meter, so I can
see exactly how loud each band member is during sound check and how loud the set is.
I recorded 114 db at one point!
The biggest benifit is showing band
members that despite their claims they are too quiet, they are actually much louder than
everyone else.
