Hi all, first week with the Model 12, really enjoying the unit!
I'm recording my tracks "Post EQ" in order to print my live EQ settings to the SD card recordings, so that when I transfer my files to my DAW the mix is preserved (minus fader and pan).
Something I can't figure out though is how the model 12 handles these recordings in MTR mode as to not "double up" on the comp/EQ settings in playback.
Case in point: I record a drum beat on channel 1, Post EQ with a bass boost of 2db. Now in MTR playback, my assumption is that with the EQ printed to track, I'd have to to reset the EQ in order to not double up on the bass boost. However, to my ears it doesn't sound as though it's being doubled up. In fact, when I reset the Bass, it sounds as though the boost was never printed to track in the first place.
Loading the files into my DAW confirms that the bass boost was indeed printed to track as expected - great!
Trying a similar experiment with the compressor engaged during Live record, it doesn't sound as though the compressor is doubling up in MTR playback.
If this is the case then it's great! So I don't have an issue really, I'm just interested to know if anyone can confirm if the model 12 is doing some sort of cool magic trick so you don't have to reset your mix when recording Post EQ. Or perhaps my ears aren't picking up on the doubled EQ - very possible!
Would be cool to get some clarification from anyone in the know.
Cheers!
