I was skeptical because I'm a "musician who can run sound" as opposed to a "musician who DOES run sound." I must say, however, that after toying around with the product for a while, and a brief 30-minute crash course from a local friend, I feel completely at-one with the DL1608. Obviously, having the gains separate from the iPad itself can be a drag, but if you set your levels properly at the very beginning of sound check, you shouldn't have to touch them again! I've had this system for a few weeks now, and I can't stop talking about it. The price is steep(roughly $1,500 for controller and iPad), and there's only room for four 1/4" inputs, but don't let that deter you. Between the size, weight, and awesomeness of 6 aux sends, I can't imagine why you wouldn't like this board as much as I have!
