Gain difference between Profile/ SC48 and S6
Doing rehearsals for a show. I built a file on a SC48 for FOH. We just rented a S6 for my MON engineer and we’ll both have a S6 at the show. We loaded my file onto the S6 and all of the gains seemed hotter OR the compressor thresholds react differently. Basically anything with a channel comp engaged compressed a lot more than it did on the SC48. So which is it? Does the S6 have higher gain or does the compressor threshold have a different calibration? I just need to know what to do when I load my SC48 file onto the S6 the day of my show.

Re: Gain difference between Profile/ SC48 and S6
Not sure why this is happening, but to deal with it what I would do is, if you're listening to reference audio, I would check to see if there is a common gain bump, say +6dB. If so, then I would note that and then edit my show in the Standalone Software offline. If it's the Threshold on the compressor, then I would back it off by whatever the reciprocal amount is. If there is a "uniform" value across the console, then this is a tedious, but easy task. I would make the necessary changes to my Show File and save it with an added "S6L" (myshowfile-S6L). This way you will have both a Profile show that works and an S6L file that works. Hope that helps.

Nope, they're equally calibrated, I have two right next to one another right now with the a signal generator feeding both at the same gain settings... looks the same, same gain reduction, S6L analog output is louder though (higher voltage).

I’ll have a good soundcheck in front of my S6 on Friday so I’ll adjust dynamics thresholds as needed. I can get away without scoping them on all my snapshots. |

Re: Gain difference between Profile/ SC48 and S6
Are your dynamics set to post-EQ in your SC48 showfile? The S6L is locked to compressing pre-EQ on the channel strip so this would have a large impact on your compression settings.
Honestly it’s one of my last big complaints with the S6L coming from a D-Show. It forces me to abandon the channel strip compressor most of the time and use a plugin. |
