[SML] In house mix location

[Riley Casey]

It works fine until it doesn’t. I’ve mixed probably hundreds of shows using a tablet for some portion of the show but I would never mix musical theater on one. Its an ideal technology for a subset of the sound mixing chores on a subset of performances but its neither capable or reliable enough to replace a mixer surface.  Just in the nick of time though new mixer surfaces like the Yamaha DM7 bring a ridiculous amount of mixing capability to a mixer surface small enough to fit in two theater seats.
