[QUOTE="Mick Berg, post: 72134, member: 2512"] Levels and First Gig I don't understand this approach. "This isn't near as high as it ran"? It doesn't run, you run it. If the level is too high, run it lower. If you need more volume, turn up the amps or drive rack if you have one. That's what mixing is. What am I missing? I did my first show with the X32 last week. First night, a collection of disorganised (but very talented) jazz student combos who threw everything at us. Next night, three large jazz ensembles who did sound checks that I was able to save! Fantastic! The console worked perfectly, I got comments on the good sound, and actually thought I heard some improvement in clarity over the Venice that I used to use. And I had no problems with gain structure, I "ran" the console between -18 and -12. I had to knock down the monitor amps by 6db. but the PA amps stayed the same. I did not have a problem with my one mute group, but was shocked to learn from this forum about the behaviour. As I see it the mute group button should toggle the mutes that are part of the mute group. If any mute has been activated independently, it should stay muted, just like an analog console with mechanical switches. Mick Berg. [/QUOTE]
