It's not out yet. It was supposed to ship a couple of months ago, but you know how that goes...

I've talked to a couple of people who saw a prototype at NAMM, though, and they said it was phenomenal. Hopefully it will ship soon and will still be as cool.

Well, they are here! I just got one. Up and running in a few minutes. Really cool. Couple of issues with DP 4.52. The track switch function gets hung up on grouped tracks and (thanks to DP's weird input level display only in the audio monitor window) no input level, only playback. Brian at frontier said the first issue would be corrected asap with a new controller driver. either way, so far it is REALLY cool and useful. My .02

That's excellent news. I've had one on order since way back when they were supposed to ship; glad to hear it's finally out.

Just got mine and in a few minutes I was walking from room to room controlling my entire system. You can even change headphone cues/mix levels , etc from the surface. Really cool!

Does this thing emulate a Mackie control or it's own driver?

Just bought mine yesterday so I can recording by myself in my vocal booth. It's everything I expected and more, thought slighty smaller.

Can you choose a "new take" with this unit?
