At our gig last night I was using my ‘Default indoor’ scene (scene 4) for our band. Everything seemed fine, however we tripped the noise limiter (which had an absurdly low limit, it was a family party at a social club and we’re not loud!). When power was restored we had weird issues, there was feedback/ringing even though all channels and all mixes were muted (including LR). Anything with a compressor ‘ON’ gradually went into max compression (red vertical bar) one channel at a time over a minute or so. It seemed to have some internal feedback going on. I first switched off all compressors then in a panic I decided to reset and did a controlled shutdown. We got going again and managed fine (very quietly). Only later I went to the mixer intending to save the scene as a new ‘indoor quiet’ scene did I realise that the mixer ‘current scene’ field was blank (I had forgotten to re-select a scene) and the ‘next scene’ field was set to scene 1 (default outdoor).
So a couple of questions…
After a power interruption where, according to other comments, it should have reverted to the previous scene, why did I get those weird issues which weren’t there before? (I can’t recall what scene was ‘current’, if any, at that point.
After the controlled shutdown, power-up doesn’t result in any scene being selected, and I forgot to select one, so what ‘state’ would the mixer have been in if ‘current scene’ was blank?
