[QUOTE="Spenser Hamilton, post: 72137, member: 2272"] Re: Levels and First Gig +1 Some of our more entry level operators are going to have take a good look at what they consider adequate rig for the gig, the X32 (and all other digital consoles that I know of) aren't going to be as forgiving of being pushed to their limits compared to a decent analog console. I've got enough experience on this console now that I think I can safely say that I have a fair idea of it's limits, you need the maintain some headroom on your L/R outs and the only way you can do that is with a properly configured driverack controlling a rig that is big enough for the job at hand. On another note, provided audio for a well known Canadian rock band last night, both the band and their opener travelled with their own techs, there was also one local band that I was tasked with mixing. Both techs seemed happy with the X32, one guy was an Avid user and the other a Presonus user, spent a few minutes explaining some of the variations from what they would be used to, and both seemed to be able to dial up a good mix without much trouble. It was nice that everybody could get the channels set the way they wanted and then save a snapshot, sure beats trying to mix on the headliners left over channels on an analog board. Excuse my lack of photo taking skills :lol: [ATTACH=CONFIG]151709.vB5-legacyid=5392[/ATTACH] Pre-show from FOH [ATTACH=CONFIG]151710.vB5-legacyid=5393[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]151711.vB5-legacyid=5394[/ATTACH] Two shots from showtime, the amount of processing power we had in such a small footprint was useful in a small venue like this. The remote software is great, I like to keep it setup beside the board and then use my iPad on a wireless connection. The computer beside the board came in handy at showtime, at one point I started to hear 1.2K sounding very hot in the vocal mics, I was able to navigate to the effects section and make a few tweaks to the graphs without disturbing the BE.
