Analog vs. Digital pt. 2

Well, tonight proved the one thing about this fight...

If your board crashes, and someone else programmed the scenes and didn't tell anyone there all the ins and outs of how the scene was set, then you're in for a bad night.

Analogs don't fail that way, and it's quick and easy to see the "previous setting." yeah, there'll be differences between boards, but you could make it work. but to troubleshoot a digital board, you have to know its OS inside and out.

unfortunately for tonight's concert, i did not. Perhaps i shouldn't have tried to even lend a hand and just let the pieces not be performed. I almost limped it through, but, almost doesn't quite cut it.

So, my vote is back to Analog, if for no other reason than i can troubleshoot any analog board with some confidence, but put me in front of a digital board i've only used once or twice, and i'm probably boned. lol
