Title: dl1608 fader eq question
Post by: Ram on May 31, 2015, 08:13:10 PM

Question on master fader 3.1.1 on dl1608:
I was thinking that if I changed the EQ on channel 1 in LR, that should not affect the EQ for channel 1 in AUX1 (which is set for PreDSP).
However, I notice that when I change the EQ in LR for channel 1 it also reflects in AUX 1.
Is that how it is?
I had thought that the EQ was part of DSP , and should not affect the PreDSP auxes.

Do you mean that when you click on the EQ page from Aux 1 it shows the main L/R EQ settings or you hear the changes in Aux 1?

yes, that's what I saw.

I did not check to see if it affected the aux 1.

Are you saying that it would not impact aux 1, but just shows in the EQ in AUX 1?

I think that as there is only one DSP/EQ the EQ page will show any EQ applied but the aux tap is pre DSP so it won't audibly affect the aux output.

I am not sure I am following this.

Is the question - does the eq for channel one affect the eq for signal sent from input one out to aux 1? If aux 1 is pre dsp it's tapping off channel one before EQ and Compression - so it won't have any effect.

I typically set up vocal wedges this way. I know there are those that would like to tap pre channel compression and post channel Eq - so channel eq would affect aux 1 but not any compression on that channel.

Cheers

Thank you for your answers.
It is comforting to see that the predsp aux will not be affected by EQ changes in the channel.
The confusing part is that the EQ 'shows up' in the channel 1 of AUX, and it can be CHANGED in that mode.
That means I can change the EQ for the channel 1 for LR FROM AUX?
That is not clear.
I would think that , if it is predsp, the EQ in AUX should be 'read only' - to avoid confusion.

In any case. you guys answered my question.
Thank you.

Aye, fair point. Hopefully it has cleared up any confusion at least.
