I still think you need to know if you’re breaking away an already made patch from a different input port to a channel.

2018/11/13 at 3:55 pm #80041On the monitor page you can toggle the use of the main output fader to either be monitor level, or Main L/R output level.
It’s part of the Desk Use page.
Sorry, not with my desk at the moment.
It is covered in the manual.

2018/11/10 at 10:10 pm #79950Reading this, and having used mine, I can see this could be a problem.
I wonder if you were to make a patch that replaces an existing one, whether an “Are you sure?” type message might be a good idea.
I did this the other day, just demonstrating to a friend how easy it was to patch things, and, like an idiot, immediately patched over something, and of course at that moment, you have no idea what it was.
An “Are you sure?” prompt, or, “Overwriting Patch x to y” might overt such a disaster.2018/11/10 at 1:53 am #79938Can I add the idea that all the meter screens have an L/R meter following the monitoring, full sized top to bottom of the screen, on the right hand edge.
The others are too small, and the led strips pretty useless.2018/10/24 at 2:56 pm #79511Yes, I think the Matrix running at -4 will work, so thanks both for the suggestion.
I have also realised that I run this into a distribution amp, and I can tweak that down.Cheers, Rob
2018/10/23 at 9:31 pm #79498When recording for broadcast, we run a multitrack which has individual mics in it, some sub groups like clean chat, pre and post fade audience, and the mix, and this is what post production (the edit and Sound dubbing) expect.
But I have to feed some of the VT record machines’ analogue inputs and I also want to view the levels on my BBC PPM’s. If I run them correctly, the mix on the multitrack will be 4dB low. As an aside, this also messes with where the overall limiter is set, and the gain structure of the mixer leading up to it.
I also feel that it’s an unusual level to have picked. Strangely, I have a Motu (American) FireWire audio interface, and -18 tone comes out of that bang on 0dBu.
Look, it’s not the end of the world, but it’d make my life a little bit easier, and make the SQ more compatible with other equipment.
I can of course work round, but with those levels able to be set as I’m asking, it all falls into place, just as it does with the studio gear I use every day.
For PA and foldback, you effectively turn it up until it’s as loud as you want it. In broadcast, you very much have to hit a fairly precise target. 4dB wrong is massive.2018/10/23 at 2:34 pm #79488Because when you pull down the master fader, the digital versions of the mix on the multitrack then be low and will not correlate.
In broadcast it’s not minor at all. Levels are a very precise and accurate thing.I can work around but it’s not ideal.
