QU-Control panel showing channel mutes

[robbocurry]

Hi Nicola,
Caught myself out nicely tonight:/
I was using ST3 for break music and after the first break I muted it on the iPad.
When the second set had ended and I started the music up again via the Qu-control on the qu-pac; the value scrolled up, the signal bar was moving, but no sound.
Unplugged and re plugged then after a few minutes it dawned on me I had muted it on the iPad.
There was no indication on the ST3 button in the qu-control window to show the channel was muted.
Would it be possible to add a red diagonal line or “red out” the button to show when muted?
Might be handy….

Here’s a pic of ST3 selected and muted. No indication at all that it’s muted. (Bottom, 2nd from right)

Seems very basic that the console should always reflect the status of a channel regardless of what actuates it.

Yup George, I agree!
You said what I meant in a quarter of the space it took me.
Very eloquent and to the point! 🙂

I think it would, but that screen doesn’t show mute status even if done locally I presume…

Nothing at all for input channels Bob.

I’ll probably not make the same mistake again. Luckily I was not under pressure, it was my own gig.
However I can see a scenario with a dance troupe standing on stage (or a bride and groom in the middle of the floor) glaring down wondering why their track hasn’t started……yikes!!!
I think it would be a simple but beneficial mod to a very slick interface.

Yep, looks like a good suggestion.
