Bit of and odd question but when using the Qu-SB is there any visual feedback ‘metering’ to show the ‘input signal’ levels in Qu-Control? - I understand 0dB on the fader is 0dB (+4dB) @ the outs but because this is essentially a digital product, how does one know if you’re going to clip before the AD? (does the -18dBu metering rule apply)
I’ve had a look through the manual and also through the forums but metering seems to be a bit vague in the Qu-SB realms.
I’m still relatively new to the Qu range and Qu-control operations and have come from conventional analogue so please excuse my stoopidity.
Me bad - I did actually mean Qu-pad in my original post and not Qu-Control. (different apps available, I got confused - as I say, still very new to this)
My original question still stands though for when using Qu-Pad.
This might just as well be ancient Greek to me but it brings up an interesting question (for me that is): up to what levels do you guys run your input gains ?
I tend to run most inputs so they peak at -10 except the kick most of the time because otherwise I sometimes have to run the channelfader above 0 dB to get enough FOH volume for the kick. So input peaks for the kick are usually set at 0 dB.
how does one know if you’re going to clip before the AD?
If you have any doubt about your meters indications,
Check in the input source tab (source/gain/48v/polarity): the meter is always directly post preamp regardless of your pafl settings
