Their reaction was much the same as mine once they were able to navigate the board. Their impression of the sound also lined up with mine. Fact is, it’s just hard to go from an analog board to digital in a room. However, the mark of a good digital board is the ability to overcome “digital-ness,” dialing back into the essence of the room. We were all able to do this with the X32. It was not a struggle sonically as the precision of the EQs enabled us to adjust to our liking. The same can be said for the onboard channel compressors; they stayed out of the way while gently grabbing the peaks as I was looking to let the music breathe. None of this required flipping through the manual at every turn, either. The X32's layout lends itself to good mixing, as does its internal processing. I was recently discussing getting a new board for one of our rooms and one of the engineers immediately asked about the X32, based on his use of it. I think that endorsement rings the loudest."
