Ok, So I found it. Audio was looping through the video system and making it to the projectors. Culprit was a Windows sound output assigned incorrectly in a video PC. Due to the complex routing and with the way volumes were set, the problem was mostly hidden until a couple of things happened to specifically highlight it, and obviously only heard on the stage due to the low levels and projector placement.

So… yeah. That happened.

I think I’ve pretty well eliminated that as far as sends levels go, but even so, the mutes should kill it everywhere. The fact that I’m getting leaks on a channel with it muted is the most concerning.

As for the leaks from the unassigned channels, they’re not routed to any auxes connected to speakers.

I’ve had the 80 since before the 112 came out. The 112 still only has 32 slots in the right bank though… so some of the same problem still exists. Moving anything but inputs or matrix sends into the left bank creates workflow problems.

Scenes might work in an environment where you get to plan a show, but for portable use as a production company, I have a few starting templates and move things around on the fly. We often barely get a line check before we go live in festival settings, and in church environments it can be worse than that. Any scene programming would become useless the instant I have to unpatch a couple of mono mixes and patch an extra stereo mix on the fly. I would have to update strip assignments on at least two, and probably more, scenes, which is not something that I want to deal with people waiting. It’s easy enough, but there are just enough steps in all that that it’s just too time consuming.

I’ve been using this console in installs and in my production company for long enough to have really thought this through. There are other things on my list of wants, but this is the only one I thought practical enough to request. Many of the rest would either require more DSP, or fundamentally alter the UI.

[BrentParticipant]

Between inputs, outputs, dcas and effects, there are far more than 80 faders assignable. With all input faders assigned, there are 2 slots left on the left bank. On the right bank,
A: 8 DCA
B:8 Mono Mix
C: 4stereo mix, 2 matrix, FOH Stereo, FOH Mono
D: 4FX Send, 4 FX returns

There are at least the 8 additional DCAs, 4 fx, and wedge/iem feeds unassigned, and I think a couple of matrix mixes.

That alone justifies the request.
