Right to the last question; the XLR changes were added to the A1s.
But as far as pads go, I am uncertain what you mean. My options for the XLR’s in the setup are to set a 12db gain and also set attenuation. As far as outputs, I think the only output left on the board is the headphone jack.
Not sure what I would use as a pad. Are you referring to an external device? Any recommendations? Also, I am using manual levels on both inputs, not auto.
Here is the waveform from last night, with the levels reduced; it just lowers the overall gain, but it still clips.

Performance is being filmed tonight, so, I may lose control room sound and just have to mix ambient.
Thanks for all of your help.
