Re: LS9 channel parameters
« Reply #10 on: March 03, 2011, 03:47:18 PM »

I am not too familiar with the LS9 (and I like it that way),  ;D does this fader link also link all the other channel parameters? If it is only a fader link I would avoid it altogether and just push up 2 faders. If it is the only way to link the other parameters like eq, dynamics, and routing, I guess you have to live with it since setting eq and dynamics for each channel separately would be a big PITA. I usually only link faders when they are on different layers. On a DM2000 you link each parameter individually, on a PM5D, all together.

Yeah, I was coming to that to! The link  parameters can be set individually. Don't think I will be doing much pairing on this console anymore. ;D

If they can be set individually, just link the eq and dynamics, and leave the fader separate. You can correct for a channel imbalance on the input that way too.

Time to calibrate faders...

Maybe, if you became more familiar with it you'd also like it that way? You can do amazing things on that 20kg console if you try.

If they can be set individually,

Don't the LS9's faders link 'individually' only in regard to parameters but those parameters are then applied globally to all linked faders? A potential gotcha there, if I remember correctly.

I use a lot of digital consoles, I have used the LS9 a few time, I have made a decision to avoid it if at all possible. I am someone who has been telling people the amazing things they can do with various digital consoles for many years. I have been using digital console for 10 years since my first time on a PM1D. The fact that you can do amazing things doesn't mean much to me when there are other options that work better for me.

I think the dec+ and - knobs can do funny things sometimes when working fast, a user error change that sometimes goes by unnoticed if no audio goes by that channel. If the gains are not linked, or dynamics parameters - you may have changed something very wrong on one channel compared to another one, when thinking you were navigating instead of accidentally altering a value.

If one fader moves up a lot faster than the other linked one you may have linked wrong and looked at the wrong fader(s), linked back and then got something wrong with the channel/fader parameters. Maybe one of the channels had been recall safed somewhere in everything? Custom fader layer and jog-wheel change?

Many things can happen, but I find the LS9 to be very,very reliable though strange things can sometimes happen. Most often you find the cause that is yourself, when you don't, I often think I can't think through the whole process of my moving hands and thoughts to find my error, rather than saying it's the console. It's another thing being more than just a one-time occasion in different scenes starting from a zeroed console.

Then again, it could be a bug. Or it could have been you on an analog console turning the wrong gain knob.  Which one is most obvious and which one is most annoying? Leaves a thought.

I don’t like linking pairs of faders in general on a digital console because I always grab both faders and it seems that the motors fight each other when I am touching both. It feels like something is wrong they don’t move smoothly.

The reason I link them is that then I only have to copy one fader to the custom fader layer. First time I ran in to the flying fader problem was when I nudged up the playback and one side of the house got real loud.
Perhaps a combo of linking at max and calibrating the faders is in order for me.

First time I ran in to the flying fader problem was when I nudged up the playback and one side of the house got real loud.

I had those flying faders in past, with 01V96... Sometimes when air got dry (I mean really dry as it can be here in Finland sometimes during winter) the static electricity caused ALL the 01V96's faders to go all the way up, when I touched the console.

I learned to touch something else before touching the console for getting rid of the static electricity.

This has never happened to me on any other console, and I finally got over the habit of touching something else before the console...

I don't know for sure, but for me this sounds like the console has something wrong it it's fader motors... I've been using LS9 (I don't like the console either, but it just keeps on coming to me...) a LOT and I have never had that, not even when my offset has been off...

fwiw,
