I worked at a place that did this kind of thing with a digital mixer and
the world class digital console was replaced by it's analog brother
shortly after it crashed during a live broadcast. Those things are great
for studio work where the automation and recall features save tons of time
and you can afford the odd reboot. But when you are live to four networks
with an orchestra it can make for a really bad day.
