ā¦not sure what ur tryin to do and where u wanna end up with the sum of ur qpacā¦
iāve made the experience, that usually, using te qpac as my stage mixer and giving out itās master sum to foh via passive di boxes or multi stage boxes, or even directly to pa, iām always comin in too hotā¦and have to turn down qpacs main busā¦
while all my internal gainstaging is properly set and no internal compressors at workā¦
they do a decent job on various single instruments, while on any electronic gear main outs, theyāre pretty unneccesaryā¦
so i hardly doubt, u really need any further dynamic squeezing for gaining loudnessā¦pretty much the oppositeā¦recheck ur signal flow and ur actual perception of ur overall gainā¦
if ur single channels floating close to 0db and so is ur qpacs main bus, u should be already way more than fineā¦and no further compressor will make that any betterā¦the only thing that could push ur loudness perception any further would be a truu brickwall limiter, which is not part of qpacs internal fx selectionā¦
when i was new to the qpac, i also thought, i better put a compressor on the mainbus, put it in a kind of dead end limiting mode to get āmoreā out of itā¦but after a while i realised, ooops, untouched dynamics do all the trick it needs, if the single inputs are gainstaged properlyā¦
and as said, ihave to turn down the mainbus gain always a little eversinceā¦
