The presonus board does not have motorized faders, which makes it a lot less functional than something like the tt24. It has lots of cool blinking lights, but that money would have been better spent on moving faders. Its a real bummer, since its otherwise looks like a cool product.

Calrec's Apollo digital audio console is an OLED-laden beaut

Cypher1313,

Analog vs Digital has been hashed over many hundreds of times, by nearly everyone in the pro audio world, and i am not going to pretend to contribute anything new...

But just keep in mid that this console is intended for "live production and on-air television broadcast", where quick access to every parameter is vital. When doing live work, warm, smooth, analog sound is worth a lot less, than fixing a compressor's threshold in and instant, instead of searching for the right channel it in the racks.

Nerve has its place in the studio, but brilliant digital consoles, like this one, also have their utility.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
