Ok…so it’s been several months now and I have to say I really enjoy working on the Studer Vista desk. It just does…well…everything. OK…not everything and there is one thing they have yet to put in…but I’m betting it will be there soon. More on that in a bit though.

It would be hard to list everything the console does…so I’ll just highlight a few of my favorites.

1) I can move FOH and only have to repatch 2 CAT-5 Cables.
2) I have more i/o than God.
3) Anyone familar with a analog desk (and maybe some DAW’s) can step behind it with little problem
4) I have a 32 bus Marix..20 groups…10 Masters…VCA’s for days…and did I mention I can reconfig the desk to any number I can imagine?
5) The automation is pretty great.
6) And most importantly…3 Giant touch screens with Real Rotary knobs built into it. O.o
7) O ya…and it sounds amazing.

There is a lot more, I’ll post more about it as I think about it.

The one thing I’d like to see change in the software is the ability to change the strip setup via a snapshot call. Not a huge deal….but at some point I’m going to need to switch around my 60 input faders. If I was on a Broadway musical…this would be essential.

Anyway…more soon on this.
