It does at least have 8 VCAs which is a major part of operating these kind of gigs.
I don't think it's any harder for me to mix on an analog desk than it ever was, it's just that my expectations of what constitutes a good sounding show has changed since running a show with snapshot recall. All the little cheats I used to get away with are no longer good enough for my ear.
The selective recall in the PM5D is pretty much perfect for what I need. A wonderful tool, especially once you get your head around building a production quickly. I have yet to run a show like this on any other digital platform. I know it's only a matter of time 'til that changes.
I have 6 more performances of this production I'm working on. It's been an interesting reminder to say the least.
