Have done the level diagram already,and thanks, I know what that is. what I have not had the chance to test is the interaction (real music) the tracks will have an how much summing will up the level. If you consider something like six sources mixed at similar level, what will happen to the sum? I will try that with me test channels and maybe eight inputs from a mix, but I did digress a little, as so many times before with this project.
My project is just about not mixing in the DAW, so that is ruled out, and yes, I know you could have faders to talk with the DAW, but hey, who wants a HUI mixer if one can get a real console? And I like the idea of having analogue summing right in the box.
Th scope thing is really the next step, I wanted one for years and even had a 10 Meg Russian 'micro' scope but that was really just junk.
I haven't checked right what happens when I switch off the channels as they are switched off via two fets like in the Studer 990. but I am aware of the issue.
I will have 12 Mono channels, 4 stereo channels go to the mix so this is a limited issue, 20 channels to mix is not a giant board. I am considering using multi level partial summing even it might seem as an overkill, I have reduced the impedance pan pots to 5k and that seems to help as this was the biggest contributor still have to check on fet input opamps there to see what it does to performance. the individual channel is at roughly -100dBu noise (input terminated at 100ohms) or better.
