[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 99102, member: 34"] Re: Mixing Resources As Chris said - EQ will reduce the level after the EQ section. If the metering is after the EQ section, then yes, it will reduce the level the meter shows (and the actual level). Some consoles offer level indication for each 'block' of input processing, and some analog consoles reportedly had a clip LED that could be triggered at any point in the signal chain. This is why the EQ section on digital consoles has an attenuation knob, so you can make up lost gain or reduce gain if you make a large boost. Remember that there are many points in a console where clipping can occur and not all of them have LEDs showing this. The iLive is an excellent example - it shows the clip status of subgroups, even if the subgroup is turned all the way down, because you can still overdrive the [I]input [/I]of a group even if the [I]output [/I]level of that group is significantly lower than clip, due to the fader being turned down.
