Sure, nowadays the truth is nonsense, alternative facts are better. You<br>
are aware that professional audio engineers often are working at<br>
different locations, with different gear and that they are often faced<br>
with a device, they never used before? That's no problem, if those<br>
devices are self-explaining.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Self explanatory to an audio professional and self explanatory to a typical home user and very different things! I would not expect any home user to sit in front of pretty much any digital mixing console and be able to configure it as desired
without resorting to manuals or videos! Especially if working with Dante or similar. Even users migrating from cheap audio interfaces to RME and coming across the likes of TotalMix for the first time find that rather confusing and that is simple compared to
the options in such devices!!!<br>

It's worth to chime in, even while I don't know this particular device,<br>
when you recommend YouTube videos. What's wrong with the user manual? Is<br>
it that complicated, that it requires to take lessons to use the device?<br>
