At least sixteen inputs, preferably more, into stereo or more channels. I would like to have a interface to it from a tablet and less importantly I would like wider options for controlling it over some sort of IP network (TCP/IP probably). There are a lot of nice products available, but it is hard for me to tell if the software and protocols are ones I can use from my own software. I feel a bit like a babe in the woods! I am price sensitive, and I am not the only decision maker. It is hard to make non technical people see the danger in a piece of equipment whose main control is a app on a iPad. I want to be using it in five and fifteen years from now. We will look after it. My problem is identifying hardware that meets what seem like peculiar requirements to others. Decision criteria. The background is we have a set of amplifiers we use for community gigs here in Ōtepoti, New Zealand. The missing piece is a decent mixer. In this thread there have been some interesting things, a bit overwhelming... * Dante * I am a beginner but I think MIDI and OSC are for different things * LTC * MTC * MMC * OSC in JSON * "Rendering Engine" - Sara/DS100. Not sure what this is... Looks like more than we need, opening up possibilities we have not thought of * Monome Norns, PedalinoMini, Step Audio, Lawo, Awesome! Worik -- If not me then who?
