My school might be looking to replace our current mixer with a Mackie tt24 digital mixer (the current sound board is also a Mackie). The primary reason is because it has the capability of working in sync with another of the same mixer, essentially allowing us to have a FOH operator in the booth and a separate sound operator in the recording studio. However, I am weary about the details, and figured I'd reach out for help.
My first question is simple: why is it that many online stores have discontinued the Mackie tt24 for no apparent reason? Is it a bad product or something?
My next question is slightly more challenging. Since we are looking into getting a new board, one of my teachers has suggested putting the mixer downstairs in the auditorium, rather than in the booth, which is in an overhead balcony and has poor acoustics. Is the acoustical advantage of having the board downstairs really worth having to re-route all the wiring for our body mics?
Finally, last but not least, if we end up getting the tt24, should we get the snake that comes with it (also digital), or just stick with our analog snake. I really appreciate any help, because my school is hesitant to fund this project unless they are sure it is worth spending money on, which means if they go through with it and it turns out not to be worth it, it's gonna be my fault.
