We find the Soundcraft Si Expression digital desk slightly better sound as compared with the analogs and obviously more headroom.  We got rid of the old analog processors since you can use this directly with the powered speakers already  :wink: :wink:
Sir, was it tested or A/B'd on same limits as the analog soundcraft....meaning all other processes were bypassed sa digital board. Purely the mic>preamp>eq>output :) Curious lang.. :-D
Wala bang digital aliasing na rinig na malakas sa boards na eto?

I got our 2nd Soundcraft Si Expression 2 24 channel digital desk last week. Keeps getting better the more you use it and learn to navigate the panels  :-) :-)

Congrats on your 2nd board Sir! Sa palagay nyo po ba kung church setting na may mga volunteers di po ba sila mahihirapan sa navigation Sir? This is a consideration ko po versus the easier to use but differently featured Presonus SL kasi. Wishlist pa lang po  :-D

for me sobrang daling gamitin ng SI series, lahat kasi sends to fader pa. . ., feature wise, panalong panalo ka na sa fader glow palang right? :D

Thanks bro!

Shifting from analog to digital desks would require time to familiarize yourselves on how the digital ones are designed. Of course going to unfamiliar territory is scary at first but once you get the feel and constant practice, you can decide better which will be applicable for your usage.

I owned some Soundcraft GB and LX7 series before and since we sold them at a pretty good resale price, we decided to go digital.  Gone are the many processors from your rack and literally speaking you can operate directly from (digital) mixer out to your active speakers.  Sound wise, we all agree that the digital desk has undue advantages

Tumpak! Pero reliable na ba talaga ang digital mixers ngayon? Specially the latest ones?

got hands-on experience with a behringer x32 on a full band set-up recently, its sounds good, channel processing is ok. Fx are decent too. nakakapanibago lang shifting from analog to digital, lalo na sa mga routing, di gaya sa analog isang pindot lang naka sub group na channel mo. at sometimes pag digital minsan nakakalimutan na rin yun functions if matagal ulit na di nakapihit.
