Re: Change routing without losing gain settings and 48V

Hi John,

I don't have my X32/S16 system yet (coming soon!) so I can't actually test this issue, but it is quite important to me, so I want to make sure exactly what happens. Lets say I have two S16s, one on the left of the stage and one on the right. My first performance the lead singer is on the left of the stage and say gets plugged into S16a.2, I have S16a.2 assigned to channel strip 2. The next performance the lead singer is on the right side of the stage and is plugged into S16b.9. What I want to do is keep the lead singer on the same channel strip and change the routing. Are you saying that when I do this the preamp setting I had before for channel strip 2 is lost and I get whatever random setting was on the preamp for S16b.9? If I want the same setting I had before for my lead singer I have to remember what is was before and manually adjust the channel strip gain?

In a closely related area, when you save a scene which includes preamp gain, is it the gain of the physical preamp, or the gain in the channel strip?

Thanks,

John S.
