Let us know how it goes. So far, the news is encouraging.
I've played with it for a couple hours today.
Loaded shows from a few different bands I have done sound for, including my own.
Played recorded tracks through the mixer (virtual sound check).
Checked my mains and monitor feeds.
Played with the reverbs.
Played with the RTA.
Made sure all my mute groups work.
Made sure all the outputs work.
One thing I notice is - the new reverbs seem much much hotter, so I have to dial them back a bit on the levels for each output, but left REV1/REV2 where they were on their own mixes.
I know this was occurring before, but it seems more prominent now:
The singer in my band wants to hear FX in his monitors - oh joy..... And he wants LOTS of them.
So on the mix page for REV 1, my vocalist's channel is set to -1.3dB, everyone else's VOX are -8ish, Master is set to -1.1dB
Now, on the L+R mains mix, the Rev1 channel is set to -25dB (previous version it was more like -16dB for most songs)
Okay, that sounds great... but.... over on my keyboard players AUX, he has REV 1 set around -38dB, and the vocalist with all the reverb in his own mix and the mains? Well, he's pulled down quite low too.
But the keyboard player complains that all he hears is the verb from that vocalist, with no signal from the vocalist.
This is nothing new - it just seems much more prevalent. Likely because the new verbs are "hotter"?
Not a complaint, the work around is to simply lower the FX further.
Ideally, the keyboard player doesn't want to hear other vocalist in his ears, coming through the FX channel...
Anywaaaay, so far, so good. Everything seems to work like it did before.
I did notice that on the outputs for the mains and auxes, that by default, the compressor is on, the delay is on (but at 0.0ms), EQ and Graphic EQ are on.
Can't remember if they were all defaulted to on for shows before. Either way, it doesn't make any difference since it's all set to 0 or flat. (I just disable things I'm not using normally)
