Re: Mackie PPM1008


OK - while I'm talking to myself I'll go ahead a tell myself to keep trying it will get better.  No I don't like the hi-low channel gain button vs. the gain knobs on the old type.  I read that these things will cut out or stop working momentarily when pushed.  It's true - they do cut out briefly when pushed.  YUK!  I'll try again with the gain button pushed in and maybe the master turned up past 12 o'clock.  I'm having a hard time finding a sweet spot for the "compressor" knob on the channel.  It sorta works but can make things real thin when you're trying to tame a harp honking vocal cupping type.  On the plus side at least my channel stayed hot while mister mic cupper was squished unlike the old 808S that only had a limiter on the mains and when Mr. mic cupper would honk his harps it would bring everything down.  Stay tuned for future updates when I get my nerve back and try this thing again.
