Any value to IEM and Wedge strips?

I am running ME-1’s to the stage so I don’t need an IEM or wedge. Is there some way to reclaim these busses ? I still don’t seem to have enough. The real problem is more outputs than busses. Why do sub groups eat up OUTPUTS? I’m just dumping them back to the Main mix.

They aren’t actually busses, they’re a dynamic output patch for the PAFL signal. Subgroups eat up mix outs because of the processing available on them, and they do output a signal to wherever you route them to, be that an XLR socket or another mix. Actually patching a signal to an output isn’t too much of a strain on the desk, it has more than 20 male XLRs.

Nicola gave me a good tip a couple of years ago about patching the IEM strip to the headphone output to provide a mute button for the headphones, I was having an issue with hearing bleed through them and it was easier to hit the IEM mute button (on a softkey) than to turn the knob up and down each time.

I have to use IEM as a control room monitor for TV mix projects. Just wish the GLD had equivalent to Alt out on QU.

you can make alt out with a matrix output ? just route Main to it on pre fader. works fine

But I need PFL for a control room feed.

you can patch pfl to any output in the I/O screen ? I am sure I am missing the purpose how you are using the gld.

Just like a CR output on a recording console. I need a stereo out with level control that will PFL to solo inputs.
