I resisted getting a digital console for years but my advancing years and my very bad back finally convinced me that dealing with a 300+ lbs mixer and road case plus 2 efx racks at FOH position it was time to rethink some things, either I had to ditch some of the weight and equipment or I had to stop mixing. I bought 4 years ago a Yamaha LS9-32 digital mixer. I did not buy the digital snake because it was too much money but anyway, with the LS9, I have 4 on board efx units plus the ability to assign EQs, gates, comp/limiters to any channel or out put. I do still sometimes carry a small rack for FOH with a single graphic EQ and a CD/Cassette player. The added plus of the digital mixer is I no longer have to spend 20 minutes plugging in and patching all the rack gear to the mixer. Going with a digital mixer is one of the best choices I have ever made, totally no regrets.

I dunno, man....
If I had the cash for a digital board right now, I'd be tempted to start on a fleet of dual T48s and a bigger trailer.....

Re: DIY - DJ mixing board CD player case
Depends on what you want. Something like the rm32ai for $1600 or so isn't a bad deal if you already have an ipad. No snake required with those. No control surface but that can be added.David Raehn wrote:I dunno, man....

99% of the time, things that aren't already being done aren't being done because they don't work. The other 1% is split evenly between fools and geniuses.
