This video show the feature of the desk some of these features are that is intuitive access to detailed settings, fully recallable head amp parameters and a built-in USB memory recorder/player.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd7xZJ1BVZQ

This video in a 8 minuet long in-depth video on how to work the desk all of its features and also how to select the channels and how to mix, this a good sours for anyone who wishes to gain more knowledge on the desk or for someone who has no knowledge on the desk. In my experience I have used this desk a couple of times I feel this video will be able to help me learn more about the desk.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoZn_44rL-4

This video is about how to use the desk and the adventive to using the desk, such as it can get a sound check up and running in no time. It can also mix 40 channels; this video is very good if you would like to know more about what the desk itself can do and how it does it. We have recently borrowed the tf1 for the theatre royal and watching this video I now feel like I have a better understanding of what the desk can do and now I feel more confident to have a go on the desk.
