You make a good point....We were learning some general info about Live Sound recently, and on some of the better Live consoles, you have the option to send the fader to one of a number of VCA masters, instead of using the normal subgroups. The reasoning is that there will be less signal degradation using VCA faders, and the signal does not have to pass through additional subgroup circuitry, and I guess the last thing you want in a live situation is for you signal to start to turn to shit, cos as they say
"If you sound like shit, you will sound like amplified shit through the PA"
I thought that was a nice saying.........
I guess I am being influenced by a particular someone, who you could say is a bit of an audio "Snob"........great guy but he sure does like his audio hi-end and expensive! I guess when you have had the luxury of using the best, the other stuff doesnt sound so great. And I am not yet at that point, so I guess I shouldnt have such an attitiude about Project studio gear etc. I cant complain about digital, and affordible analogue, cos I am without a studio if I start to get snobby!
Im not afraid to admit I own behringer gear
hehehe......
