Vfx Control - Great controller but can the sound be improved

I used my Vfx Control live for the first time last night at a local pub gig.

The controller and Cross worked fine together, but I did notice the sound, the music sounded flat (if you know what I mean). I needed to mess around with the EQ's on both the Vfx Control and the in house sound system to get it to a level and sound which I was happy with.

A couple of weeks before I used my Hercules 4-Mx on the that same system and the music sounded punchy but with the Vfx Control it didn't.

As a controller it is great but I feel it's lacking in the sound department (compared to my other controller)

Just out of interest, can any improvement's be made to the soundcard (in relation to the EQ)via a firmware update or something.

Just to add, I played at a bar in town last night with the Vfx Control on a different and newer sound system and I still had that "flat" sound.

It wasn't as bad but still disappointing.

This is why we have improved the U-Mix Control Pro in this area based on our experience and the users feedback from Vfx.
Unfortunately nothing can be done on the Vfx, it is just as it is...

I know mate, I did consider using it with my Hercules Trim, but thats going against the idea of using a all in one controller. Plus it's another USB device to plug into my set up. I think 2 is enough ;)

I think I'll stick with my 4-Mx.
