Everything on the mixer is as small as it can be (think Reason device scale) and the whole thing takes up less space than the mixer in Cubase, where vast expanses of screen real estate are used simply for air between stuff. You can see the sends, inserts and EQ all at the same time which isn't even possible in the all-virtual Cubase mixer unless you open multiple Mixer instances, or click your way through multiple views like All Sends 1-4, All Sends 5-8, All Inserts, All Equalizers etc. *That* you would need a 300" screen for if you want a total overview.bmanic wrote:But see, that was NAS's whole point. Why on earth do you have to make a virtual console like that when there are much neater and tidier ways of putting the same information on screen using much less screen real estate and making it more intuitive/usable? Do you REALLY think they would have made mixing consoles look like they did in the 80's if they could build them like it's possible in the virtual domain?

And if there's some part of the mixer you don't wish to see you can collapse it. Plus there's a navigation pane with a miniature view. So it's actually very compact and the only way to make it smaller without also making it so small you need a magnifying glass, is to remove things entirely, e.g. reduce the number of sends, EQ bands etc. The notion that Props wouldn't give "bang for pixel" is frankly a little ridiculous, as the standard complaint is that the graphics are too small and compact and that there should be a way to scale everything up by 2x.
You've seen an online video of a quick demo done on a low res projector by someone who barely knew the product... it's kind of like writing a definitive movie review based on a shaky bootleg excerpt of the trailer.
