    It's almost impossible to find, but I got my hands on one, and took it to a wedding. Here are my thoughts.
    I didn't go heavy into the specs because there are other videos out there.
    Segments:
    0:00 Intro
    0:42 iPad Control w/ WIFI
    1:46 Anti- Feedback
    3:10 Save The Venue
    3:40 Presets
    4:12 OMG..A Bag!
    4:28 My Vanity
    5:00 The Eh..

    I like it that it has a lot plenty of auxiliary out. I can separate my subwoofer from the tops. I can mute the subs during speech and I can totally control the subs during the dancing part.

      Def agree. Love that there's 4 aux for remote speaker/videographers..

    I have all 3, the 8,16 and 32 and they're awesome. On my older TouchMix 8 and 16 no update is needed as they are perfect just as they are. LOL i brought my 8 and 16 for $500 and $650 back in the day. Oh and on your Fastset table cover start with the zipper side two legs first and then the back two legs, 10 seconds DONE! great table

    Presets: I use this for band so it's super easy. however, I have a gig coming up where I will use tracks. Which setting would I use for that? All the presets are for instrumentation, not tracks. Thanks so much!I can;t find anything anywhere about how DJs use the presets - only for vicals for speeches and such. What about the music?

    • @AaronStrawn
      @AaronStrawn  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm currently not using any of the presets for the music. I'm using the mixers eq for sound. Hope that helps!

    Thanks for the video! You mentioned ceremonies. I mainly do outside ceremonies, and besides the occasional drop out due to operator error! I deal with wind! Do you think the QSC will help with that? Thanks again!

    • @AaronStrawn
      @AaronStrawn  ปีที่แล้ว

      Best thing for wind is to get a windscreen on your lapel or handheld. These definitely help with that issue

    Hi Aaron, I'm starting to see the QSC Touchmix 8 back in stock. So, now that you've had the Touchmix for over a month- is the $1,200 price tag worth it? Any regrets?

    So you gave up on the Flow already... lol I just purchased two to replace my Soundcraft UI 16s. PS The UI16 has twice as many channels, AFS, DBX Processing, and Lexicon Effects, and only costs $500, best bang for your buck digital mixer IMHO. I am still going to use mine for live sound reinforcement, but for Doing, the Flow 8 is perfect for me.

      True- I have not had one issue with it other than needing a new wifi dongle (which they sent me). I guess I'm used to software updates and improvements with other gear. One update could be new mic/instrument presets
