Hmm... problems with the MD have been these as far as I could remember.

* Noisy separate outputs (rectified on newer machines if I am not
  mistaken, please correct me if I am wrong)

* Splank!s problem with power, caused by some component inside the MD
  coming in contact with something. This causing power failure.

I used the MD live this Thursday, no problem except that this baby
kicks some serious ass on a real PA system. :)


I bet that quite a few people on this list have been gigging with the
MD now, and I would love to hear your opinions on it's reliability, if
it works in dark and sweaty locations (rubber button instead
of the plastic ones perhaps?).
