Default Recal Faders

Hi Guys,


Does anyone know if there is a "recalibrate" function for the faders, because on my three S6, after building a session with all the faders at 0dB, looking at the faders they look more like a roller coaster.
They're approximately aligned with the 0dB serigraphy and absolutely not aligned between them.

Thanks.

I tried the local operations in the faders modules (Groups, Steps, etc.) but it doesn't help …

There isn't a calibrate. Can you post a picture of how bad this is ?

same on my recently purchased S6. It is pretty bad, please have a look at a picture I took with all faders at zero in Pro Tools.

That's strange, not seeing this here. Can you go into test mode on a Fader Module (hold Select and Swap on the first strip) then select Fader and then Group. Moving one fader they should all move together. The numbers should be within about +-30
The Menu keys are the selection. The far right one is Exit

Also without tracks on the faders (or the system turned off) when the faders are down at the bottom are they inline ?

Hi All, I’ve got a bunch of these as well. At least 4 buckets are doing this across different desks. All faders report 0db when you touch but they are out of alignment. A real mind game when you’re actively mixing two mics against each other.

Hi Guys,


Did you find any solutions and when will it be possible to operate it (especially since the support ask us to wait until the software fix) ?

The mixers we are welcoming since our new S6 was set up, are seeing the "Fader thing" as soon as they take a look at the console.

And it's very annoying when you want to mix splitted stereo (or multichannel) tracks …

Thank you.
