Did my first SAC gig last night in Monterey as drummer and sound guy (with some help from my wandering partner in the cowd) and in spite of my own shortcomings, it was, in a word, "fantastic!". What a great, great tool. Never had a gig sound so good (and yes, I sold my Midas).
No fader packs, just the mouse, keyboard and those great little "F" keys. I'm hooked, can't imagine using anything else on a gig now......
Of course, there was a gotcha. Like a dumbass, I didn't wait to get my Tripplite UPS/voltage regulator before I took it out so when someone bumped the AC plug.....restart. Fault - all mine. Will defintely use the UPS from now on. Other than that it worked flawlessly and man do I love the "I don't need any outboard stuff".
As a musician (well ok, drummer but I can read music), engineer and physicist, I am very impressed with it. Great stuff Bob! Doing the Dramatics show tomorrow night with it in Salinas, CA and can't wait.
Changing Interfaces......
I am giving some serious thought to switching to the OctoPre MKII from Focusrite just because all of the interconnect is on the back. I have no issue with the Behringer sound quality but it is kind of a pain with all those connectors on the front. Any feedback would be appreciated.
