Status making popping sounds
« on: February 08, 2021, 08:02:59 PM »
Hey all!

Need some help ! Weird problem.

So, console pops through the speakers and displays on meters when mix button is pressed. Every time. .
As well as when the vca to monitor is pressed every time. .
Only audible when monitor pot is up tho.

Pops also happen When another status is selected.  From mix.
So record to mix, Pop
Mix to record. Pop.
Record to replay no real pop.
Replay record. No pop.


Another weird thing.
In replay, vca to monitor is bright.
In record, vca to monitor is a bit more dim
In mix, vca to monitor is quite dim.

I’m guessing it’s somewhat related.

You have a dc offset somewhere. Will be hard to find. Try turning off all buckets, pop still there? In master section.
Pop gone, turn on one bucket at a time till pop comes back. The pull channels one at a time.

I was hoping for a “oh it’s that diode right there” haha

Thank you for the idea. I didn’t consider it being part of any channel.   Assumed it was from the master section.

I’ll report back tomorrow when I’m back at studio.

It’s bucket related. So I’ll source the Channel out after our sessions.

Thank you!

Hi Marcone,
could you fix the problem?
I think I have the same problem, but it is still there even when all buckets are switched off.
It also affects every LF Cut button. Extrem when you solo something and a good amount of channels are getting cut.
