So when you plug the phones in are you turning down the mains volume to the speakers?

You do not need a larger mixer as that wont change anything. You haven’t said how you are feeding the signal from the mixer to the broadcast or the speakers. What you need to do is send the broadcast feed from an aux send on the mixer. Lets say you use Aux 1, all you will need to do is bring up the aux 1 master, then bring up the aux 1 knob on each mic channel to the desired level. This will not affect your main outs going to the speakers. Another solution being that this is probably just a mono signal you could send the left side of the mixer to broadcast and the right side to the amp/speakers. Then you can just bring down the left side to suit the broadcast needs.

Do you have the Phones/control room level turned up?
Have you checked your headphones with something else to make sure they are working? -
[Sam Lesante Jr.] “I would like to know how the big networks like NBC, ESPN, etc… get their plasmas or lcd screens to look so good when you see them on tv next to thier anchors.”
Is it possible those TV’s just have a green screen on them and the image is keyed in?

[ttpayton] “I actually think most of the MPEG2 artifacts will be reduced greatly becuase of the downconversion that a DVD player would be doing. You going from a MPEG 2, 720×480 Anamorphic, to the effective letterboxed SD resolution of about 640×358 that will be layed down to beta”
I am not sure if you and I are reading the same post but there was no mention of anamorphic or needing to down convert. DVCPro50 is SD with 720×480 lines. So it is very close to digibeta which is 720×486.

[ttpayton] “If a local post house doesn’t have FCP, you could try making a DVD with the highest quality settings (use compressor 60 minute high quality widescreen) and they can make a dub from that to Beta or DigiBeta.”
Yikes!!!!!
Take a DVCPro50 timeline, compress it to M-peg2 for DVD then lay that to a Digibeta or BetaSP, which will then more than likely be compressed to m-peg2 again for transmission? That will surely look horrible.
I think it would be better and cheaper for him to just rent a BetaSP deck and lay it off straight from the DVCPRo50 timeline. -
[Darcyana Moreno] “I have the opportunity to send to them for approval”
Aside from all the other advice given, it sounds like you have already established a dialogue with the company, if so I would keep meticulous records of any correspondence with them. i.e. dates, names and times of phone conversations, copies of any and all letters sent and received, any emails sent and received. Make sure you start any letters or emails with something like “In reference to our conversation regarding the spec spot I have created for XYZ product…” This creates a dated paper trail which would definitely bolster a copyright case if it ever came down to that. Good luck with your pitch.

[Barry Green] “No — it always records 4 channels.”
Maybe that should be a feature request for the next upgrade, to be able to turn off each audio channel if it’s not needed. It would save some space on the P2 cards. -
[Brian Pitt] “do you mean 3 band eq? I don’t see a 31…”
No! I mean 31 band eq. It has a lot more control than a 3 band.
Got to Effects>Audio Filters>Apple> AUGraphicEQ. Then go to the filters tab in the viewer and play around. Make the curve like this )
