[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 124109, member: 67"] Re: SI Expression inputs mic/line conflicting info You want each channel to "peak" between -22DBFS and -18DBFS on the meter when you use the solo or PFL button. If you do this to each input, some things you want to be softer will need to be turned down by lowering the fader, which is why "unity" as a user-setting is bullshit. Believe me, if you have hi hats peaking at -18DBFS, and vocals doing the same, you won't want their faders to be in equal positions... trust me. Don't freak out that soft signals will not give you a full meter display of level. Back in the Ye Olde Analogue Dayz, with big mechanical analog meters we couldn't "see" signals lower than -20dBu, either. And regardless of whatever verbal advice was given by a salesman (or similar), try using the owners manual. Soundcraft has hook up drawings and relevant text to help you do things right. [/QUOTE]
