hi,why when I pull down the subfaders 1 and 2 on the mackie cfx 18 I hear
reverb..I've tried post abd pre on the channel strip amongst other settings
to no avail.is this solveable or is that how it is?
thanks req

What do you mean you "hear reverb"? Reverb by itself doesn't really sound
like anything. What do you have plugged in, & how do you have it routed?

Not sure I understand what you're saying but here is something I
understood at once when I examined a Mackie CFX for a friend who was
concerned about a noise: switching on the effects put hiss in the
outputs, whether or not the effect itself was turned up. In general I am
able to appreciate Mackie. In that instance I was not.

I'm also still waiting for them to get rtheir SRM350 act together. One
makes noise, the next one doesn;t ya think it's been fixed, and the one
after the good one makes noise. Keeeeriiiist.

Hey there--

Yeah, my limited experience w/the CFX series effects are a bit
noisy--not really a problem in the rooms the unit was designed for,
though. As far as hearing the 'verb with the sub faders down, that's
normal: The effects return directly to the mix bus, where they're
combined with the subs.

That's the way it is. Like all of the Mackie mixers, they designed the
CFX routing to do several things, and like all of the Mackie mixers,
it does some things better than others. The internal effects outputs go
directly to the L/R mix, bypassing the submasters.

What might work (and I haven't tried this) is to turn the EFX To Main
Mix control all the way down, then connect a patch cable (or two, if
stereo effects is important) from the Stereo EFX RETURN 2 jack(s) to
the line input(s) of a spare channel or pair of channels. Then assign
those channels to subs 1-2 and your effects will follow those
submasters.

I'm looking at a block diagram, and this looks like it should work but
there might be normalling switches on the EFX Return jacks that get in
the way.

*hear reverb* = a *wash* of sound ..i.e. a full wet signal as opposed to
the dry mixed with it...I pull down the fader the dry goes down but the
reverb stays..I want the wet sound to follow the dry down..

The correct translation of "hear reverb": Hear the reverberation sound
produced by the internal effect processor.
