So I want to finally take the leap for my board and I’d like the input of the more experienced folks. Basic bar band, so 16 channels is enough. The drummer, when he does mic, has a little board so he just needs 2 inputs.
I’ve been really digging what I’ve seen of the Presonus 16.4.2 and they’re available at a nice price now that series 3 is out. The 6 aux is nice for individual mixes if we go to in ears, which I’m pushing for. The channel fx and compressors and all would allow me to dump the rack gear we use and the options for recording are a nice bonus.
What I like most about this board is that it looks like it’s very quick and intuitive to make changes without going through tons of menus and stuff and it has all the rouring options I could ever want, even if we expand our setup.
So that being said, is this a decent board? Is there something else in the price range I should look at? I see them for under $1000 all over and it seems like a good deal.
Thanks for any input!
