The Advanced Guide has just been posted at http://line6.com/support/manuals/stagescape. Hope this helps all who have the mixer.

What you are seeing is that the auto trim function is not hitting it's target value because the signal that you are inputting is above that value. It's not showing a problem and you are not clipping intil you input above 15 dBu.

The auto trim attmpts to set a value of "0" and if you are above it, then you are above it. As long as you don't then turn the channel up into the top red light on the meter you will have no issues.

During beta I did a gig with the M20d where Taylor Hawkins was the drummer and Chris Shiflett was the guitar play. This was a cover band that goes by the name of Chevy Metal here in LA but sharp eyed readers will recognize what other band these two gentlmen play in.

The M20d handled all of Taylor Hawkins drums using regular dynamic mics without attenuation and with plenty of headroom. It was one of the loudest bands I have heard in a long time. These guys are pretty "Pro" if you will.

What about phase inversion when miking the top & bottom of a snare?

Yes ... there are polarity switches on the inputs.

Any thoughts why you were able to find the info you posted so easily...

No, I don't have/own one.

I followed the link dboomer provided in Response #2 of this thread. Many documents are posted there.

Do you own one of these units?

I don't and am waiting as stated to read as many posts as possible before considering spending the money for such a unit.

As you have copied either the answer or one of possible answers to the dilemna stated at the topiof this thread...

Hi,
i`m also one of the "lucky ones" which own a Stagescape.
I try to find out all the functions (which is not so easy without a good(!) reference manual..which is promised in the "pilots Guide").
One of my current problem is: the auto trim function.
if i try to "auto trim" a signal (e.g. Kick drum) i receive a error message which says "input signal too hot" ...or something like that.
unfortunately the is no "pad function" to ajust the incoming signal.
Any idea?

Any thoughts why you were able to find the info you posted so easily while this gentleman and unit owner was not able to accomplish the same results from his attempts to find any Line 6 recommendations or answers to this or any other "typical" situations that would happen when using various mics or other input devices? I find your results and his very different ones curious as I'm not an owner of this unit, nor have I had any hands on experience with it and therefore no need to do my own research on what manuals, etc. might be available online here at the Line 6 site in the manuals section. Do you think there might be a better way for Line 6 to popint out how to find these answers in a more easily understood way to help relieve much of confusion many seem to have with the online munals choice by Line 6?

I do remember all too well the mass confusion by owners with gear I also own and use with the new money saving choice Line 6 made in producing only a minimal start-up guide and then directing all owners to take advantage of resources located in the Manual section of this website for Advanced manuals, Guides, etc. My personal feelings about thier choice are irrelevent...and I also personally had no problem going online and reading all then printing out any info I felt I wanted or needed to have in my possession in printed form as I worked my way through the learning process of all the POD HD, JTV, and DT50 gear.
