Wow, that is odd. When running the TL > V2 > MMe combo on-stage, I never experienced any issue like that, and I tape on-stage at the Lincoln Theatre as often as possible. I would usually have L and R gain set to 25 with trim always set on 0.
Hmmm... how close to the instruments were you?
Glad to see a couple of guys running the TL > V2 combo, especially with sbm-1's and MMe behind that. Great sounding setup to my ears. There is what, three people running this rig now right? Luvean, Brain Sax and Justin O'Rourke? Sweet!
