[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 38942, member: 162"] Re: Sometimes, I never want to hear the word 'audio' again after days like this. I was running a wedding where I brought an 01v96 in to replace the Mackie 1604 onsite. The output to the house system was a 1/4" TRS that normally plugged into the 1604. I removed the Mackie, and plugged the TRS jack into the monitor out of the 01v96 (which is the same bus as drives the headphone jack) - the only TRS output that was convenient. I figured as long as I don't adjust the monitor out gain, I'll be fine. Right as the minister was getting ready to speak, I attempted to turn his mic on, but inadvertently pushed the solo button instead. Since my fader for that channel was below zero, the PFL level was hotter than the main path through L+R, and feedback city. This was made worse because it took about 9 or 10 seconds to find it, since even turning off the main fader didn't silence the noise - I had to unsolo the channel. We all have crashes. Figuring out how to not do that particular thing wrong again indicates a functioning brain, and you'll live to fight another day. [/QUOTE]
