Re: Finally pulled the trigger on a StudioLive 24.4.2




This would seem to be a problem only when you are "mixing with your eyes".  Your ears will tell you how much sound you need, not the meters.  The meters WILL tell you when you're in trouble......




Your board must be different.  Every one I've worked on had the (fat) channel meters with 0 at the top, not in the middle. 



Again, I don't see what you're talking about.  The meters do not read "up to +15" on the channels.  They read to 0dBfs.



Take another look at your metering.  I think you're not reading them right.  The channels (fat channel meter bridge mode) are in dBfs and are labeled as such....with 0 at the top.  The only meters on the desk which are dBvu and go above 0 are in the master section......sub-groups and mains out.


Well, shoot......I can't seem to get the bmp file to attach.  Some smart guy I am.  Anyhoo, it was a picture of the SLive channel metering clearly showing the scale printed in dBfs, beginning at -72 at the bottom and ending with 0dBfs at the top.  Take my word for it.
