Thanks for your help, guys. Weird problem... tried all suggested fixes (different browser etc), to no avail. Tried different computer - and no problem. Thanks

No, I still just get a blank screen. Have tried several times... always a blank screen.

For some reason, when I click on the 'Advertising pull back' thread I just get a blank screen. However, I can read all other threads. This happened once before... some months ago, when there was a thread title that looked like it might be a little critical of Line 6. Again, all I got was a blank screen. Seems a bit curious.

I'm not an expert... but I think people normally try to do the opposite... i.e. only have effects on the mains and use a dry signal on the monitors. I think there can be a tendency for singers to sing slightly out of tune if they have reverb on their monitor signal. Having compression on the monitor signal may also result in other issues as well.

Cool. Didn't know that was possible. So are you simultaneously playing backing tracks on the media player... and then recording multi-track of each input channel and also recording the mediaplayer playback as well?

Are you saying that you're playing back files from an SD card - and simultaneously recording onto an SD card? Didn't know this could be done (as there's only one SD card slot - I think). Interested to learn more about this.

It's at the top of this page... http://line6.com/support/forum/62-stagescape-mixer-stagesource-speakers/ but the link doesn't take you to 1.2... just 1.1

:o

You could try stepping on it... instead of sitting on it. ;)

Good point! You might want to change the description that's above your avatar/ photo... Don Boomer - Live Sound Applications Engineer & International Man of Mystery.

Nice reply, Don. :)

Yes... they looked like very useful features.

Strange. There was a note at the top of the forum page... and it linked to a few paragraphs that explained the new features that were included in the new software (including some neat fader features... and some artist presets).

Great review. Seems as though you like them! :) Congrats on your purchase.... glad it's going well.

Dave, I seem to recall seeing other comparisons of various manufacturers' products on this forum. So I'd be surprised if there'd be any objection from Line 6 if you express your opinion on the relative merits of various products - based on your assessment of how the products meet your specific requirements. That said... of course I can't speak for Line 6.

HI GracefulGideon It’s simple… you did accuse Line 6 of doing something wrong. Check out the following statement: ‘… if they do not have preamps in 13-16 then that in itself was misleading.’ In reality, it’s the above statement that is misleading. See jeanpicasso’s comment for the reason why the statement is misleading. I was merely correcting the point…. purely because incorrect comments do a disservice to Line 6 – and can also confuse potential customers that visit this thread. That’s all I was trying to do. For the record, if it had been me that made inaccurate comments, I would have acknowledged my mistake and may also have corrected the relevant post. I’m extremely grateful for the help and advice that I get from people on various forums – including this forum - but I also understand that none of the participants owe me answers to my questions – so I try to be polite in how I make requests... and I expect similar from other users. Hence, I would never use words like ‘Answer questions such as:’ No problem... just explaining. Hope you're getting great results from your Line6 PA.

Hi Dave You raise some interesting points in your comparison with your other mixer. Can I ask which mixer it is? (I'm still trying to decide on which mixer to buy... and the m20d is one of the contenders, so comparison info. is very interesting). Glad you're enjoying the m20d (and just for the record, I didn't think you were implying the company misled you regarding mic preamps. I believe it was another contributor who made a claim along the lines of: 'if they do not have preamps in 13-16 then that in itself was misleading'.... however, I'm sure they didn't mean any malice towards Line 6 :) ).

I don't believe I was getting away from the topic. To explain... It is clear from the spec that only 12 inputs are for mics. Thus, only 12 inputs will have mic preamps. Thus, only those 12 inputs will require the processing / presets that are necessary / desirable for mics. For example, if the user is using a line input for a keyboard, why would they need FBS on that channel? I've never had a synthesiser feedback. Problematic feedback is most common in items such as microphones or acoustic guitars. If you imagine taking a line out from a guitar amp - and plugging it into channel 14, you probably wouldn't want to suppress feedback (you may actually want some feedback). People are trying to help - by providing answers to the various questions. Stating that... 'An explanation by simply saying why Line 6 should not be criticized is begging the question and not helping answer the question.' is incorrect and a bit disappointing. You ask whether this can 'be fixed with a simple firmware update'. It's not really a question of trying to fix something that is deficient or needs repair. The product appears to be delivering in accordance with the specification in this instance. If you're asking whether Line 6 can add some new functionality (that was not included in the specification) that's a different question.

While not wishing to sound harsh... I don't think Line 6 can be criticised if customers don't read the specifications.

As Don says, many mixers have an 'all or nothing switch' for phantom power. Again, I think it's clear in the documentation that I've read about the m20d... so I don't think Line 6 are to blame here.

It's a while since I read the brochure, web pages etc.... but I seem to remember that there was a clear distinction expressed about channels 1-12 versus 13-16.

If there aren't preamps on those channels (and I say 'if' as I don't have an m20d)... it would be pointless including mic-related pre sets etc. That's my guess.

Do inputs 13 to 16 have mic pre amps - or are they just suitable for line ins? If there are no mic pre amps, I guess that would explain some differences.

Sliverhead... your statement is more accurate than mine. :) 'Due' was the wrong term to use. I was just wondering if there were any bug fixes that people were either expecting or hoping for. I agree that firmware updates that add new functionality could be regarded as a bonus. However, bugfixes (if any are required for this product) are probably less of a bonus and more of a necessity.

Any ideas when this is due? I think the last one was in January.
