Greetings,

One of the engineers at my club is reporting that activating a compressor causes distortion on a channel. This happens on every channel on the board.

Has anybody experienced this problem, and if so, what's the solution?

Best,
Jack

Many compressors, analog AND digital exhibit this behavior when using extreme settings. Here is s link to a discussion of this very topic:

Should you find that lowering the settings still does not eliminate the problem then please start a tech ticket.

Thanks for your reply.

I've already submitted a ticket, and I'm going to check the board myself tonight to see if I can replicate the problem.

The engineer who reported it to me is very experienced mixing in the digital domain, so I doubt he was setting the comps incorrectly.

My concern is he was doing a roundtable type of gig for singer songwriters. He had 7 DI'd acoustics, and all of the DI channels had distortion.

He claims the same thing was occurring with the vocal channels as well.

Also check and see if the input channels are being over driven... by that I mean that about mid scale (-16 )or slightly over (-18) results in the best sound... the problem is, the buss is likely being overdriven by the summing of all the channels.
