[QUOTE="Dan Mortensen, post: 125053, member: 2826"] Re: X32 Discussion Hi Jan, Things are generally dandy here, and I hope they are the same for you. Thanks for the clarification about how to set up the groups; not as simple as the full-size console, but since IMHO an iPad is a necessary component of the Producer (much more than the Full Size or probably the Compact, so you can see what's going on easier) and since setting up Mute Groups on the iPad is pretty simple, this may be a non-issue for most people. Since I have your attention, one thing came up at my show on the Fourth of July, though: On a full size console, I noticed that the activate button for the L-R section was fully depressed. Looking closer, it was actually stuck underneath the surface of the mixer and offset a little to hold it down. Taking out my Boy Scout knife and deploying the very useful can opener attachment (a very solid piece tapering in three dimensions to a very solid point) to dig down next to the button and pry it up solved the problem. In working it to see what was going on, though, it worked normally for a few activations and then took a self-motivated dive underneath the surface of the console again! In normal use, there is a resistance at the bottom of the buttons' travel. That resistance was there for its normal activations, but the final one it literally seemed to jump away from my finger. I was not using any sort of excessive force. The Boy Scout knife got it out again, but given how many of those buttons are on the console and how much more important most of them are compared to this one that has gone bad, this is a concerning situation. This console is out of warranty so it's on me, and if I can fix it either myself or locally, that would be preferable. Can you share anything about the buttons' construction and/or replacement that would shed light on why and how this occurred? Thanks, Dan PS This show was a community celebration with about 2-3000 people, and a guy came up (before the problem was visible) and introduced himself as working for Behringer (Kieran, maybe?? Not sure about his name; it was a very long day). That was fun, although a little disappointing when I introduced myself and figured he obviously doesn't read this forum and so didn't know I was a VIP.... There should be a horselaugh emoticon here.
