Hi! I’m new here on the forums and appreciating all the information.
My request concerns the fact, that although I do understand, that FBA is usually not a channel “effect” and correctly placed in the eq-section of outputs, this setup has strong limitations:
FB is created by microphone-input mainly and only those channels should be affected by the notch filters - keyboard inputs would only suffer from the spectral and phase distortions created by FBA (in any setup, Live, Hold, …).
Next, since the PEQs allow for no small Q than 1/9, they difficult to use, if you are working on difficult microphone settings, such as amplifying a grand piano in a smaller venue.
Thus, I would request either of:
- be able to somehow select the input channels, an FBA of an output is applied to (maybe not that easy to come up with in terms of software implementation), or,
- be able to use FBA processing as insert in “difficult” channels
- Another option would be the ability to route back a (stereo) ouput to the (stereo) input, by which a real subgroup (not DCA) would be available that also has the feature of FBA. This creates two problems: strong feedback, if a loop is accidentialy created, and increased latency in this setup. However, this is what I’m currently doing (blame me for that…): routing back out5+6 to stereo-in via symmetric patch cables in the analogue way.
Interested to you comments!
