C24, is the monitor section that bad?

^^ That's exactly where I'm at. I believe the S3 would be the perfect size, although for now I'm still good with the Command 8.

My biggest issue with the large control surfaces like C24 or D-Command is computer monitor and keyboard/mouse placement. All too often I've got one hand on the mouse and one hand working keyboard shortcuts while my eyes stay focused on Mix/Edit windows on dual 27" Apple displays. With the bigger control surfaces it breaks my ergonomics and I just can't seem to get used to having the monitors 40+ inches away from me.

I have had the C/24 for maybe 4 years now. At first the monitor section was good. A little bit hiss but not a huge amount. Unfortunately the hissing-white noise- just kept getting worse after 2 years. Monitoring at low volumes was a real issue....hissssssssssssss. So I purchased a Dangerous music ST monitor controller and could not be happier!! I do not use the pres or the monitor section on the C/24 but of course use the hell outta the rest!!
