@steffenr to reproduce what I’m discussing simply add some mics to AMM and have their faders up so the AMM is actively affecting them. Then PFL a channel which is also in the AMM but is muted or has its fader down… You will hear nothing because the AMM has silenced that channel (doing it’s job) and the PFL sits after the AMM in the signal chain.
Best practice here (and standard in broadcast) is to have the AMM sit post fader in the signal chain. Instead A&H have opted to have the AMM be pre-fader but the key for it is post fader, they call this “fader follow”. That works great except for the fact the case where you want to PFL a channel to listen to EQ and compression, but you must also listen to the AMM gain reduction.
I hope that explanation makes sense, I’m very tired after some very long gig days with lots of travel.
@Kiethjah Yes, my bad, I misspoke in calling it an issue or a bug, and I completely understand that those sort of changes require significantly more work and resources than a maintenance release allows. Hopefully A&H see fit to look into this and make some changes as it really is the only thing holding this console back from being a serious competitor against the Yamaha QL in broadcast world… Which is amazing considering the massive price difference between the two consoles.
