Topic: Grouping Question
At a recent event I wanted to use a fader group to keep all the drum inputs in sync. But fader groups only work for a single output (I'm not sure why) and the drums need to go to Main (FOH), centre fill and stage monitor outputs. It would need 6 fader groups.
I'm using a UFX with an XTC.
I want to know if I can send all the drum inputs to an unused output then they run a cable from that output to another input, and then send it to the 'real' outputs. The 'unused' output would then act like a sub-group.
To take this a step further - is it possible to plug the output of ADAT 2 into the input of ADAT 2. This would make 8 mono or 4 stereo sub-groups (plus adding EQ and Dynamics to each group). I haven't tried it yet, in case it might damage the UFX.
Any ideas?
