OK, I admit I am to Digico D1 and D5 desks what the 12 year old ‘me’ was to Jet from Gladiators when she met me at a public appearance at Bruntingthorpe Air Base; star struck, in absolute awe, and systematically boxing above my weight, but SO damn ready to knock one out.
So it’s with little surprise that the geekier side of me wants to shout out when anyone mentions Digico desks. “I’ve used one, look at me”.
No change today, when I read that Trevor Gilligan - FoH Engineer for Maximo Park chose to use a D5.
LSI Online report
“I started using digital when working with Oasis,” he says. “And the D5 is still only digital console that I can walk up to and get a mix out of without having to open a manual or start making calls. The routing is so easy, whoever designed it got it spot on.”
My only advice is don’t plug a Sony Ericson in. They don’t like it, and it can make the phrase ‘Showstopper’ mean something bad.

First properly looked at the digico kit at PLASA 04, when I was working for DARE. Was particularly impressed by the freebie USB flashdrive/wristwatch they gave out. Effectively you could download custom settings from the desk to your watch and then upload it to any other digico desk. The possibilities of doing away with scraps of paper with a band name at the top and a mess of circles and dashes were mind blowing at the time
