Meters pre/post fader

[Gianma]

Hello everyone. Before the 1.30 update, in the Bank section I could see the meter in “pre fader” mode in the upper channel and in “post fader” mode in the lower channel. After the update, both meters show post fader values. How can I reset them or change this setting?

That wasn’t the case before and shouldn’t be the case now either.
The upper meter should always show “preamp”.

> … and in “post fader” mode in the lower channel.
In my opinion, that should never have been the case either.
The channel meter can be set globally to one of 4 selectable points, but all of them should be “pre fader”.

I can’t check it at home at the moment, so I trust my memory, the block diagram and the manual.

I understand. We are 2 soundman who work on the same mixer. And we found that mode very convenient. At this point I don’t understand what’s the point of having 2 equal meters on the same screen then

Which mode do you mean?
As I said, to my knowledge it was never any different than it is now.
I think there was and still is no post fader meter there – neither at the top nor at the bottom.
Or was/is it actually different for you?
As I said, I can’t check it at the moment.
Perhaps you have found a bug.

The meter ​​do not have to be the same.
As mentioned, you can select one of 4 source points for the channel meter – it’s all a matter of preference.
In addition, this selection is also used for the channel displays of the Meter bridge, and some people prefer there the earliest source point “post-preamp”.

I have to admit that I have never thought about the exact source point of the upper meter.
It is not clear from the block diagram whether the source is actually directly after the “preamp”, which would make a lot of sense, or the source point “post preamp”, which only occurs after the trim.
If that were the case, both meters would definitely never be identical.
