Well I thought I had my configuration all together and was finally ready to start testing. After all, so far I haven't even plugged in an input or output to the board or S16. I have spent all of my time creating an initial configuration for my band.
So I plugged a mic into Ch 1 on the S16 and a pair of
headphones into the X32. I also pulled up the meters
screen (in/out) so I could see all meters at one time.
I set the input
gain for the mic and starting talking. My
monitor busses all had signal which was good.
Now here's the thing: Using as an example, vocals, I route 5 vocal channels (1-5) to a stereo mix bus (7-8), I route the stereo mix bus (7-8) to LR, and the I route the LR to my matrixes (1-3).
The issue is this: I see the meters moving for the
channel, I see the meters moving for the
monitor busses (1-6), but there is no
meter movement on the vocal group bus (7-8), LR, or Matrix meters. I have checked the vocal group bus to make sure channels are allocated and that their faders are up (0db). I just can't figure out what I've got wrong.
I tried calling tech support but no one answered. I am guessing early Labor Day weekend exodus
I hate waiting until Tuesday to find out what I've got wrong so I'm hoping someone on this forum can help me. If you don't want to type a bunch or want to ask me questions, just
send me a message and I'll give you my phone number and we can talk on the phone. I can't believe my issue won't be simple to fix but I'm stumped right at the moment. Don't really want to continue with testing everything when I can't get the first
channel I tested to route correctly all the way through.
Please help me ............ thanks ............... Rob
SOLVED: Someone in the SoundForums.Net forum helped me out. I learned that with subgroups, if you press Sends on Faders and move the faders up, it does absolutely nothing. The subgroups rely on the
fader positions of the real
channel faders.
However, that leads me to another question: What if you wanted to have a
channel participate in two subgroups. How would you set the
fader for that subchannel?
