[QUOTE="Dan Mortensen, post: 74385, member: 2826"] Re: Solo in place? Eq paring? I am grateful there is not a SIP capability on this live console. There could be almost nothing worse at a live event than to hit solo during the show and have everything disappear but the snare or whatever. The Soundcraft Series 5 had dedicated button for that purpose located under a locking cover to make sure that you REALLY wanted to use that function, and I'd hope that if it were somehow mistakenly implemented on the X32 there would be some massive indicator that you were in that mode and ready for disaster to occur. Recording uses may be different, but this was designed to be a live console and I think they got it exactly right on this issue (along with many others). That said, I'm confused by your statement that "Even in AFL, the signal strength jumps considerably every time I solo something so that is not true SIP." Aren't you listening through headphones or nearfields, so that EVERYTHING other than what you are soloing disappears completely? SIP, as I understand it, means everything but the solo'd item disappearing from the main outputs, which is disruptive to a performance situation but not in a studio. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding you. Edit: Ahh, looking back in the posts gives the info that you are using it in a project studio. That is a different use than what it was designed for, but it's nice that it can serve multiple purposes. I just don't want them to lose sight of its original purpose, which is my purpose. :D~:-D~:grin: [/QUOTE]
