Before we beat this thing to death
Production riders tend to ask for the top brands, midas, yamaha, soundcraft some will accept A & H many will include a statement no Mackie BEHRINGER OR PEAVEY. Many will on small productions allow for the use of the Yamaha digital famliy
The high schoolers that you have met based on your comment were never taught properly. To dismiss a high school students ability to learn and use a piece of equipment IMO is a serious mistake
If we took that same approach we would have to also say they could never learn to play a musical instrument, write a computer program, develop a game, design a web site, fix a car, fly a plane, etc. do ld for show, record a cd etc.
The way forward is definitely digital, the feel has been improved all the time, and if you want to train the person for the future, learning the digital approach provides a much simpler reverse implimentation back on analog than the transition from analog to digital. High school students today are totally capable of learning menu strutures, navigation, and also the theory and practice behind sound design. It is a serious mistake to take ones own personal experience and what they were or were not capable of accomplishing and transfering it over to others coming along behind. The when I was in high school I know i could not do it, therefore no one else can is simply not a valid argument.
