Can you explain what you mean by this? I have no familiarity with the console, are you saying that there are 2 gain trims on each channel and they both do the same thing? That's what it sounds like.

I wasn't clear to anyone but myself, my bad.
FYI for the sake of this discussion, there is a 'universal control knob' (bottom right of screen not in picture) that controls parameters on the screen after having been selected via the touchscreen.
Yes, there is a 'preamp' gain with a physical control knob (the universal knob can also control this parameter) it is top left. This shows 1dB changes. AND a trim section that can be highlighted and controlled via the universal knob. That shows 0.1dB changes
I revisited the processing page just to make sure I wasn't doing a stupid before writing out a huge post. I was.
As it turns out, when the input source is the USB socket (digital) the preamp & digital trim are the same, with trim giving a more granular look. When the input source is a local socket (or analogue via digital snake) then the trim and preamp are separate controls.
I still think the trim placement in the signal chain is silly. Why would you trim right after the preamp? it serves no purpose other than giving you headroom for compression... if you need that much headroom to compress then you're doing it wrong. Really the best thing to do would be have the ability to insert the 'trim function' anywhere along the signal chain (typically before/after EQ). The easiest/simplest thing to do would be give me the ability to put negative numbers in the compressor's output gain.

More notes:
-Side note, they allow MUCH finer control (0.1dB steps) over MANY parameters & give numeric feedback when compared to QU.
-most parameters will reset to true zero instead of +/- 0.1dB like Qu (pet peeve of mine)
- The signal generator is fantastic FYI, from 20-30hz the granularity is .1dB and it doubles for every doubling of Hz.
- I don't like that there isn't LCR or LR+M mixing
- I don't like that st channels have to be even/odd pairs (1/2, 3/4, etc)
- There should be a way to get to the stereo/mono configurability page from the pre-amp. It's confusing to get to the input 'stereo section.' "‘Setup’ screen, touch the ‘Mixer Config’ tab, then touch either ‘Input Stereo’or ‘Mix Stereo’."
- While limited in LCR, the other modes are fantastic; already put them to good use when I helped install a SQ6. They had the computer sending loop & click L/R, so in their scene we sent input one L/L (meaning both L and R speakers got the left input, and same for right)
- I like the analogue -10dB or +4dB level settings in the preamp. That's nifty.
- naming of channel "apply" needs to go away in favor of "OK" I don't need to 'apply' and then 'close' the menu, just OK=save & close is fine.
