[QUOTE="Per SÃ¸vik, post: 66910, member: 1285"] re: X32 Discussion I might be talking out of the wrong orifice now, but I have a vague memory of being able to record from the pres and return on the same channels from the daw, in effect having the interface as an insert on every channel, but I might be talking absolute crap. Had a show tonight that reminded me that I'm still a "DC3 pilot" flying an "Airbus". First I got totally lost getting the effects to sound, the problem was simple enough once I identified it. Then after soundcheck saved the setting and left the console on with everything muted. Had a clicking noise from an appliance in the building presumably, but replaced a cable that I suspected was dodgy just in case. Came back for the show and did a quick listen with some background music, and total silence!!!!! Pushed the faders up high but nothing, checked a few things on the console, recalled the saved scene, tried again, double checked the cable I had changed, checked that the house PA was indeed on and that it hadn't been turned down or my input had been messed with, nothing. Power down and back up again, recalling intermediate scenes, recalling final scene, nothing, show starting, I finally notice that all mono sends are at -inf and the mono selector on every track is black, frantically turning every channel up to zero and activating, and wonders of all wonders, we have sound!!!! Yes, I was using mono main sending to matix, having the mono dependant on the stereo main so I could set overall target level with the mono main fader and have the steroe main fader for full travel operation during the show, and probably did something the hard way, but I haven't been able to figure out what happened between soundcheck and showtime.
