I had the same problem!

Deleting the render files worked!

I think my original post was a bit misleading as to what my goals are. I agree with you both 100% when you say there is no substitute for a well trained operator. It has never been my intention to create an “automatic” system that will always be perfect. All I’m looking for is something to assist the operator in ensuring proper levels, as well as clean up the signal a bit. I’m not looking for the magic processor to solve all for our problems, I just need that extra assurance that we are doing everything possible to send a consistent audio signal to our recorders.

As for the compeller, I read the specs and it sounds like it could be a pretty good match for our system. Does that unit work well for live audio (for video) recording, or is it more focused on radio and broadcast use?

I appreciate the suggestions, I promise I’m not “that guy” who is always looking for an easy and automatic solution. We are doing everything we can to clean up our wiring, balance our levels between different mixers, and most of all teach the proper way to run the mix during the show.
