Yes over FW,
but the plugs I use are must there's no compromise... and that can't offer any console out there, right now.
Also I hope that before we move to any other system, Bob will do some programming and upgrade SAC for multicore use, plus do some support for some of the products out there to ease up our pain over converters and preamps.
Also...As I know musicians, they don't bother mixing their own monitors,they just want to come and play.I'm talking here about musicians that play in front of 10.000 - 100.000 people. They pay us to deliver the mix.And if the mix is done / assuming the band is using only IEM / there will be no changes throughout the tour.Or if they need some fixing ,we can always take the recorded concert / mix up in the hotel room and set up a 2.1 sys and listen back the concert, tweek some things and do some polishing with the monitoring.
My costumers and the 90% of the world work in DAW's They or somebody else create's their music in ProTools,Nuendo,Logic.... and they wan't the sound to be as close as possible the music on the CD.Beside arenas,they also play large fancy expensive clubs and they want the sound to be as processed as the music that the DJ plays in between the sets.They want it to be like a mastered CD.You have no headroom here to play with...not even a half of a dB...
So,If you tell me that you can pull this off with a single x32,Soundcraft,or any other board out there I'll b..w you
As I can see, you are doing theatrical act's and not live concerts - bands, right? For your needs the x32,or whatever other console can do the job and u will eventually be happy with it, not having to think about the load or the drop outs.But for my kind of a job, beside SAC, I can't find any other system that can offer this much as SAC does.Not under 100.000eur and a bunch of racks,cables and sh...
So,for now, I just wish Bob would talk to Matthias and do some more programming, so that we could all even more enjoy in his fabulous SAC
