Command8 faders
Hi guys, I have a feeling that my faders are working louder than they suppose to. I bought this unit used and it's my first hardware controller ever and so initially I wasn't sure how loud should they work but comparing to some youtube videos I they actually are, especially in initial phase of movement. Besides, pressing Opt/Alt + touch affects setting channel level to +0.2 instead of 0. It's. not a big difference but I wonder is there anything I can do with it?

Re: Command8 faders
Run the fader calibration routine? Google the web for a manual to explain how to do this. If you have automation that jumps up/down a lot, it could be normal mechanical noise

Re: Command8 faders
If you go so far as deciding to clean them I've made some video guides that you may find useful.

Command8 faders
Quote:
When I got my C|8 I was surprised how loud the faders were when they moved too. Nothing was wrong but when I made steep cuts to automation they do slam around quite a bit My Icon does the same thing but not quite as loud - I think avid should put some kind of soft stop mechanism for faders so that these types of sounds are minimized.

Re: Command8 faders
Yeah looks like a software issue to me, if you've done the calibration routine and its still the same i doubt there will be much more you can do.
