Our intention is to create a completely new Road Test forum that is separate from the LAB but significantly different than the existing Product Reviews forum. We are looking for constructive viewpoints and welcome creative ideas to make it work. It has a lot of potential and it will be interesting to see how it all pans out. |

In my efforts to create a recording mix on the tt24, my happiness and self-satisfaction over getting the console up and running came to a crashing halt. |

If you read the first post completely, you will see that I mention that the band has their own engineer mixing FOH for the show !! I took advantage of this opportunity to create the recording mix on the tt24 so that we may try out the console without " hurting anyone " !! |

I don't know that I would want to mix a large show in this fashion without a comprehensive soundcheck, as it certainly more time-consuming than grabbing a knob in the analog world, |

My first thought on this was that the switch from the global phantom switch on many Mackie models to the individual 48v channel switches may have helped in this arena, but I can't say for sure - but it was silent. |

Unlikely: http://www.peavey.com/support/technotes/mixers/noise_console s.cfm You mention the software. have you used Yamaha's Studio Manager? And if so, how does it compare to the Mackie software? I don't think Mackie had the software available when Bink did his review, but I could be wrong. On edit, er, oops, I forget you're new to this whole digital console business.. but what about other users of the tt24? |

I have a track or two from the show that the band would like to release - would everyone like to hear them? |

off line editing will unfortunately not be available for the tt control app. it would require a major core code redesign. Sorry. |
Mac Kerr wrote on Sat, 06 May 2006 06:19 |
John, I hope you know now what a big deal the offline editing is, and have made it possible on the umx.96. |

Mike- First your Question #2: I have owned Yamaha o1v's for years, using them for three primary functions. |
Mac Kerr wrote on Tue, 16 May 2006 08:06 |
OK, we've been through another weekend, is there any further discussion of the TT24? Is the test still going? If not does Steve have any final thoughts on how it all went, and what really slick or really sick features jumped out at him? Mac |

[I, too, would love to hear more from Steve. |

Bink, Wow, that looks like a complicated gig! What is Bill wearing? It looks really strange in the photo. Is Hillary not around to help dress him? Rodd |

So in two days, the TT24 had graduated from a recording console on a split, to our FOH console. I was very excited, but our owner Jim still expressed some trepidation about the mechanical nature of the console as being distracting to the show. I guess he's right, there is something about flying faders, computer screens, and blinking pastel lights that make people want to look... |

What does mixing at a NAMM show have to do with this? I think I missed the connection.... |

That is timely, Hello Mike, I'll just quickly address the not-so-nit-picky stuff you pointed out. The variable HPF frequency value is a tiny numeric display in the EQ LCD screen. couldn't get it on the fat channel display so that was the compromise. knob velocity - we added a user setting to adjust the velocity from slow to fast. there are six settings. Fast is analog equivalent, which is what your looking for. I think we may make that the default on the next build since it has been a regular complaint of the UI. In the slow mode, you can spin the knob quickly for large changes and when you slow down the turning speed you get 0.1 step accuracy. It's great for all of us who want to get 8.3dB of gain on an aux master (exactly!) Honestly, it was an argument I've had with engineering for a long time. The engineers like the precision of the velocity approach. and folks like you want it to feel like an analog EQ. the compromise was to add the user adjustment. Thanks johnboudreau |

HPF seems a little more tricky - I must have missed the tiny number changing... OR do you mean that not only would you have to hit the V-POT HPF button, but also hit both SELECT and EQ for the channel in question? Why couldn't the display shift to that mode when you begin making that adjustment? |

...I was wondering if you use the gates built in to the TT24. I know you were having some issues with them in the past, mainly the clicking noise when the gate opened. I experienced the same thing this past weekend and made an adjustment to the Attack and thinks seemed to get better. |
John Boudreau wrote on Wed, 24 May 2006 18:09 |
Howdy, yup, you need to select the channel and he EQ screen. Definitely a compromised situation for that function. That particular screen is HTML driven so we can't have a window pop up that contains dynamic data. sorry... rack mount, huh? I've been thinking about this a lot lately. If it were in a rack would you accept an even smaller screen? thx jbou |
Steve Beatty wrote on Wed, 24 May 2006 03:07 |
If you have the ability to hook your TT24 up to a laptop, the OVERVIEW screen on each channel displays all master settings, including the HPF, in bright colors. This color screen was one of the most appealing features I found with the console, and once I had my laptop going, I rarely used the built-in grayscale screen on the console except for touch functions. |
