I was aware of it and like the look of it and also like the fact they actually put a decent router in it. We had a conversation about it a while ago, I am sure it is good, although for me the lack of XLR / jack flexibility / mic inputs would be a deal breaker for me so I haven't looked that much into it. Occasionally, very occasionally for big things we have been known to mic the drums up, at that point we need 12 mic XLR inputs.

I don't have any zoom things with built in PSU so I don't know, but I mean, if they don't work you notice it straight away!

Nothing to do with noise reduction, it is just for cost. If it was built in any noise issue would be already dealt with. Also not really more maintainable really, unless there are a number of similar supplies, but if they can pass the cost on to the user that is good (and I note here that that mixer is cheaper, so you would expect cost savings). When I am gigging, if there are two almost functionally identical items but one has a separate power supply, I will buy the one built in psu every time - I can deal with the power supply needing replacement, because, lets face it, that never happens compared to people jumping on the external PSU. Unfortunately most modern synths have an external supply.

Oh thats a shame - it seems a good well thought out unit, why can't they put a proper cable into it rather than a power supply - work of the devil when gigging?

So if you think someone else is not doing the grown up debate and trying to provoke a fight, why don't you do the grown up thing and ignore it and move on?

Yep - an early failed attempt at – and ability level for – AI

Yes, the Xair has the spectrum, but you can switch it on on the EQ panel, so you can see what you are eq'ing against, like if there is some feedback or something a bit peaky you can actually see it compared to the eq line. I have used it to kill a specific feedback frequency as the two line up.

I just change the gain at setup time from the mic'd guitar, its always different plus as you say, a compressor. Luckily the guitarists dont' tend to fiddle too much. The last one was too loud, so I turned his down, the current one is too quiet (? I know, is he even a real guitarist!) so I turn him up.

looks good but can you not see the eq panel with the Spectrum view behind it? That to me is pretty invaluable at getting rid of odd spikes

That is what I got it for, but I must admit that I have the x-touch just for edits on the fly with levels, but it sits on top of my amp when I am playing, so it doesn't really take up any other space (it is the same footprint as an ABM600! When you are setting up it is just easier to wander out with an iPad to get the levels

Mixing station I find is much better for customising, but not as good for 'seeing everything at once'. I started like that but I do put guitars though the PA, mainly because I think it beefs stuff up, its easy to adjust and also it means that I can hear it in ears, which I use (as does the drummer). Same with the paying - I know there are ways etc, but the pa stuff is all mine, that way there is no hassle with ownership.

that's what I meant when I said X-Control, I always forget its name! Mine are all wireless to a common router anyway, so no additional wiring really (ie, the X-Control USB puts out enough power to power a little router for the ethernet!

You have a post about an sr2400 you messages about that is unlocked - was there another one?

Yes, sadly it falls over bigtime on the latest iOS (I have an iPad that I used that isn't updated*). Mixing station works pretty well, a lot of people prefer it (I never really got into it but I have it in case of problems, like when I forgot my iPad, it works on the phone as well). The new app is started and should be ready some point soon. * I did but it died the other day - so I used my current iPad this gig and it failed a lot, but it was ok as I have a X-Control too.

Played in a local pub last night, was well attended considering there was a live event nearby. I hadn't actually touched a bass in 3 weeks as I had been on holiday and my fingers show it today! Sadly our guitarist who we got in December who fits in well and is excellent has announced he is leaving due to work commitments, so that means we have to begin the whole new guitarist thing, so that is most of our busy months going to be wasted again which put a damper on it, especially as we played really well last night.

It worked fine on mine last night when I posted about it on an m1 MacBook on safari

don't you know who he is?? He's Ronnie Pickering!!

hmm dntknow, I didn't have to do anything although I remember the first time I tried it in my pc it didn't work (that would have been Firefox) although I am sure I used it on Firefox later - still on holiday (time not location) so the pc hasn't been turned on yet to check

First gig back from holiday with the dwarf, still works really well, in fact better, as I am more familiar with it. Sometimes it is a pain that you can't adjust on the fly, and to be honest, I could have adjusted on the fly but for some reason my gigging iPad stopped working while I was away and now wont boot, so I had to use my home one and the network on that is too complicated to allow the dwarf! I think I need to remember on all patches that I make to have an output volume routed to one of the knobs, at least until I am happy with the relative gigging volumes of various patches, as one of them is much louder than the others live (doesn't seem it at home), so I need to work out what the volume should be. I certainly know what I want from a switching system now so I can rejig my chocolate controller into something useful soon.

Did you click the 'enable streaming' button on the top?

I was going to gig mine tonight (gigged it a few weeks back). Thought 'Better check the battery, when did I last change it, can't remember'. Opened the battery cavity and the battery was clearly not english or a brand I used. Which means it is the original battery! I got the bass on page 58 of this thread, November 2016 - so it is 6 ½ years old! It was down to 8v but hadn't noticed any issue (it does have a bypass too). Though what the hell, may as well treat it to a new one!

I have no idea

A self powered cab is something that I think is probably worth having

OMG - its not.. RONNIE PICKERING??

I think they call that marketing!
