Regarding reliability... Received the mixer, did a factory reset and attempted to connect using the MixPad app on an Android device. Error message 'failed to connect'. Repeated with a Windows 11 laptop. Nothing, can't even see the device in the MixPad menu (and using IP address doesn't work). Both apparently connect to the CQ wireless network but that's as far as it goes. Not a great start and exactly what I was afraid of using computers for live work!

I can't believe it has taken my this long to get to a bit of 'arris! The complete Steve Harris bass part for 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' from the 1982 Maiden classic 'The Number Of The Beast'. Monster! https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/hollowed-be-thy-name-iron-maiden/

This popped up this morning, which might be interesting?

Two rehearsals with two bands recently... First one: we'd recruited two new guitarists. One came to one rehearsal where we had to use recorded drums as drummer couldn't make it. We got a message then saying he couldn't think of anything to play and didn't want to continue. Other one hadn't turned up to previous rehearsal, finally confirmed he'd be coming to this one then never turned up. So two basses, drums and vox! Leaves lots of room for me to go widdleywoo, but we felt we did need a spot of rhythm guitar. So now singer is going to dust off axe hero skills and bring guitar to next shindig. Fingers crossed! Second one: after 8 weeks of cancellations by drummer due to excessive workload we got it together. And it was pretty good... We finally sorted out our rather aimless cover of "Do You Wanna Funk" - it's now a rockin'disco beast with a middle 8 stolen from RockCandyFunkParty and SonicYouth!

Honestly I don't think you need to worry about reliability and stability or indeed the lack of physical controls. I think it probably worried us all before we made the switch to digital only for us to find it wasn't really an issue at all, except for the time when I forgot the iPad Apparently they haven't fixed operator errors completely. All the processing is going on inside the mixer so you really don't need anything super powered to work as the control surface. A decent responsive touch screen is good but I've got a 15year old iPad which still hold enough charge for 8 hours operating (probably more but I've never needed to push it) and it works flawlessly, not least because Apple don't do updates. My two year old iPad only ever caused a problem with an Apple update which tethered my phone in preference to the mixer if I was offline for a couple of hours, they really don't want you disconnected from the internet.

😁 I just thought I ought to mention the competition, in the interests of balance and fairness and all that. Plus they have some really interesting and unusual stuff in BB!

The joke wouldn’t have worked with Warwick 😂 sorry for any inconvenience caused 😉 yeh Will is a member on here

Bass Direct is technically in Warwick. Bass Bros is in Leamington though. Not sure if Bass Bros are on this forum.

I'm not certain, but I think you'll be fine along with the Behringer interface as the ES-60 can send out audio (not via USB) to the Behringer and the YouTube audio can also go into the Behringer and get mixed and you listen to both from its output, and the ES-60 can send out midi via USB to the EMU. With a keyboard that has a inbuilt interface with USB audio in and out and USB midi you could potentially do that stuff without the Behringer.

Was @Dad3353 that put the links up Daryl. Not sure what the difference is between the two but i think mine is the basic one. Dave

Thanks Dave Daryl
