In its current state, in order to adjust the send levels of each channel to an output requires at least two taps (hitting “Sends To” and then selecting your output channel)
It would be awesome if there was a way to set it up that some faders are output-specific. (I’m recognizing this doesn’t make too much sense, so I will provide an example)
My house of worship (which now uses the CQ 12T, which is perfectly sized for us) requires us to have completely independent mixes for our in-house and our Stream audio (these are not very slight differences either, I.e. I will essentially have our Cello muted in-House, but very high on stream) so we use the Main Outs as our Stereo Stream output, and Aux 6 as our House output. (PA is Mono)
Which means making on the fly adjustments of any given channel requires jumping back and forth between stream audio and house audio. (Or jumping to the sends section of the processing menu)
Now it would be awesome if I could set a custom layer that has “Ip1 - House” and “IP1-Stream” as two separate faders, that wouldn’t require jumping back and forth.
Didn’t you try to achieve something usable with the custom layers ?
And if you have an Ipad, you’ll have even more flexibility.
I agree with frenchie, a custom layer may be the solution.
I just configured such a layer in the CQ Mixpad and also added a DCA that controls both House and Stream (L/R) output.
@frenchie @Windsport
Thanks for the suggestions!
So I did set up a custom layer to have all of the channels in one place, as well as DCA so that I can fade the entire worship group in and out. I also have done using an iPad set to one mix, and the touchscreen set to the other mix, (but it is my own personal iPad, so that’s not always an option)
However there are some times where the stream and house mixes need something different (often between songs, but sometimes in the middle of songs)
And I would love to be able to make simultaneous, same screen adjustments, but in different directions.
Another option that would be cool for this would be a soft-key functionality that swaps between mixes.
I should also add that I don’t entirely mind jumping back and forth, as I’m more familiar with the software and I’ve been doing live-sound for more than 7 years, but I have some new volunteers, and I just want it to be as easy for them as possible.
