Re: How to get a good sound with an acoustic guitar

support@line6.com — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 18:51:48 GMT

Hi,

With acoustic guitars and pickups there are often some exaggerated mid frequencies. In the Deep Tweak EQ try to cut around 2.7kHz by 6db with a Q of 2.5 and then move the frequency up and down to find the best position and then try different gains. Every pickup is different so I hope this works.

Re: Compressor: how much gain reduction?

You made a very good guess. It really is 6dB at half (a little bit below half) of the scale and 12 at (almost) full scale. The first bit of the scale is a bit more sensitive so as soon as any gain reduction happens you see it before you hear it.

Hi Harry,

Have updated the firmware on the M20d? The M20d and the iOS app need to be on the same version.

Yes, you can create a group and control the effect return from that. To create a group just double- click an empty encoder knob in setup mode and choose the effect as group member.

The group is also useful to control groups of channels, e.g. drums, vocals etc. or all fx at once. You can also assign a footswitch to mute the fx.

Depending on the exact impedance of the guitar output it is usually no problem to plug in straight to the mixer. As Antonio mentioned- just try it.

Re: Feedback Suppression Questions

Theoretically yes. Very theoretically. Usually the first 3 or 4 filters do about 90% of the gain before feedback advantage. So, the 13th filter may gain another 0.5 dB but practically there would not be a noticeable difference. The 12 filters are not shared across all channels. Every channel has its own filters. The detection algorithm is shared across channel 1- 5 and 5- 12. In theory you are right, you could get a bit more gain before feedback by leaving the speakers FBS on. Practically the real gain happens in the first few bands.

Hi,

To answer your questions:

1) The FBS always resets itself when the FBS or the speaker is turned off- on.

2) If you have an M20d the FBS in the mixer should be active and the one in the speaker inactive. The M20d can analyze the signals with more detail since every input has its own FBS. On the hand if the both are on the speaker FBS will most likely not do anything because the mixers FBS would kick in first.

3) At the moment the FBS settings are not saved.

The best way to deal with this situation might be to press the "Mute All" button and leave the mixer on.

If you use a wifi dongle the USB A is used by the dongle. You can still use an SD card up to 32 GB card to record.

Re: live mixing and recording simultaneously

Yes, otherwise the recording could clip because there would be no master fader for the main mix recording.
