Meanwhile Simon is barely hitting 2.5 PPM. The think tank guest was also significantly louder than Simon. That interview happened while Alex went off set to fix her mic (dead battery?). When she returned we heard mic ruffling (being taken off the think tank guest?) and then a female voice (probably the guest on air now) on the programme sound being lined up ("Yes I can hear you...")
From our (limited) pictures, it doesn't look like they can monitor the PPM of individual channels? (Or at least they've certainly not got the per channel metering you have on a Studer…) The web stream audio is pretty low as well. It seems more in sync than before (yesterday I was having to shift it by around 100-150ms…)
