[QUOTE="Howard Tomlinson, post: 114552, member: 6460"] Re: 2.0 because a flashing light is a more obvious indicator. the majority of these consoles are used live FOH with no monitor engineer - of course certain individuals are making more advanced use of the consoles but this is primarily a pro/am console and that means one guy. that one guy will usually set monitors at sound check and tweek only if he gets an indication there is a problem to fix. he/she spends the vast majority of the show mixing it with the main mix showing - which is why most of us have been there, inadvertently leaving sends on fader on after a tweek of reverb or monitors, and most of us have had red faces when we realise we are mixing monitors by mistake. the default SHOULD be flashing to help the majority case, with a possibility perhaps of disabling it for the advanced minority. Because this console is so good, i think some users forget that it's a mass market console and that really means one guy on FOH, with set and almost forget monitors. this isn't a flashing light aimed at ticking you the advanced individual off, it's a warning light aimed at helping the other 31,000 or more every day users, many of whom are weekend warriors. it would be lovely if a disable was available in a future firmware update but meantime lets stick with sanity - the light is flashing because the majority need it to be.
