I can't find a cost-effective solution like R1 to do the monitoring job. But they seem to need a better designer like me to make this product be perfect

This controller is pure genius, for the life of me I don't know how they pull it off. Partially by hijacking the custom mixes of your 4Pre or whatever, but there seems to be more going on than that.At any rate this has transformed my studio. One, you get the great displays telling you at a glance both your routing and your metering. Two, the flexibility of it is out of this world. Eight input setups, 4 output, Cue mixes, headphone and no less than four talkback, not to mention the dimming, summing and other features. I've had the RED 4PRE for a number of years and never got a decent routing setup out of it - THIS simplifies the whole thing. Combined with Dante now I've got three computers routing to one master (4Pre), multiple Dante devices, include Bluetooth so I ... MoreThis controller is pure genius, for the life of me I don't know how they pull it off.

I've had the RED 4PRE for a number of years and never got a decent routing setup out of it - THIS simplifies the whole thing. Combined with Dante now I've got three computers routing to one master (4Pre), multiple Dante devices, include Bluetooth so I can monitor my phone or whatever. This has empowered my interconnected studio like none other, and I can do 12 channel ATMOS with it. And all digital and networked! All my other monitor controllers have been analog and don't hold a candle to this. It's worth converting your studio to RED just for this.No real downsides. 32 channels maximum used for input and cue routing. We can't expect unlimited, but another 4 our 8 would have been perfect, perhaps Focusrite could come out with a interface with the FPGA chops for this? At any rate that's not really a negative, 32 should take care of you,

This is the best option for monitor level and routing control with the Focusrite Red series interfaces. And, by extension, some control of their other Rednet Dante interfaces. It controls output options from mono all the way up to 7.1.4. With the added bonus of an assignable headphone out and talkback mic.
