Fighting faders on a 002 console
Does anyone have a problem with faders that really fight back from moving? On brand new sessions (and old ones) with no automation on tracks the faders just fight and don't slide smoothly at all. But it seems like if I "ground" the unit by touching the screws above or below one of the 8 faders it can free up the faders. Wierd. Anyone know if this is a setting somewhere, or a defective unit?

Re: Fighting faders on a 002 console
This sounds like you have a bad ground in your studio wiring - you should have your wiring checked.

Re: Fighting faders on a 002 console
There might be something screwy with your unit, but for a workaround you want to make sure that everything attached to your finger (i.e. you) is providing enough electrical capacitance (it's how these things work - like the "feather touch" snooze buttons on some alarm clocks, etc.). Touching the chassis of the 002 or other metal equipment is probably increasing the capacitance (charge storage) seen by the fader, and thus helps the circuit to better "know" when it's being touched. Make sure the fader caps and your fingers are clean, and that you're touching with bare skin. (And sandwich yourself between some iron plates, maybe with a little dielectric garnish...)

On the other hand there actually could be something wrong with the 002's ground. Is there any way you could test it in another location, just to be sure? If it doesn't work elsewhere, then your 002 is probably in need of repair. |

Re: Fighting faders on a 002 console
Have you done a fader calibration & fdr test? On the Command 8 this is under F1 Utility. On the 002 it should be something similar..

I tried barefoot, standing, sitting, cleaning the faders, wetting my fingertips... none of that helps. Any other ideas?

Re: Fighting faders on a 002 console
You mentioned that you have a Furman. Is this a ballanced power conditoner?
If so, try plugging the power for the OO2 directly into the wall power outlet. |
