Topic: Duplicate mix UFX
Hi Guys,
Just had a very successful weekend live event with a UFX at the core of both the FOH and personal monitor mixes, amp sends/returns, and integration with an upstream mixer for various venue mics.
We did hit one issue, which might make for a handy future feature, if there is not already a way to do this.
The FOH mix and personal monitor mixes were separate, allowing each performer their own twist on what they'd like to hear, which was great - right up until one performer asked for a "copy of the FOH mix in the IEM, please".
I then realised I did not know how to create a submix which followed the FOH mix move for move in a second submix, and we started into this juggle between two mixes, live, trying as best we could to reflect changes in one as changes in the other.
It occurred to me, it would be quite interesting to have a totalmix feature where a monitor mix was told to follow the main mix, but other submixes were unaffected - most especilly the effects processor and guitar amp send mixes, which are one off set and forget submixes. I was looking for a sort of "duplicate this mix on these hardware outputs" method, or some way to link one submix to another.
Is there a way to do this in TotalMix (aside from physically copying the mix outside the UFX and signal splitting)?
It might be quite cool to be able to link more than one physical pair of outputs to a single submix (even if behind the scenes this is effected by controlling more than one submix from a nominated mix).
