You guys just added the ability for groups to feed groups, so would it be possible to add Matrix’s that can feed into other matrixes?
Any thoughts/questions/workarounds are welcome.
Use Case:
Monitor Engineer here. I run artist and tech mixes, with a myriad of talkbacks. I have a person’s mix feeding a matrix so I can route all talkback lines into the matrix, as well as EQ their IEM’s without myself monitoring their talkback repro or IEM eq. (Mainly because my PFL is matrixed so that I have Talkback’s always feeding into my PFL IEM Matrix.
Where the matrix intro matrix would be helpful, is when swapping to backup IEM units. I always keep 2 IEM units on backup matrixes, so if I need to swap units etc… I just open up the routing page, and add a person’s mix to the matrix, check the pack/iem, and send it out onto the stage or backline. Yeah, I believe you can go to the output patch page, and just choose another output, but matrix to matrix could be easier.
Honestly I think you could adjust your workflow to work the same way if A&H added Aux to Aux routing. Aux to Aux routing has already been mentioned/requested and I think there are more use cases for that than there would be for Matrix to Matrix. So if A&H was only going to change one, I think it would be better to change to allow aux to aux routing.
Of course the best case scenario would be to allow ALL of it!
Sic, appreciate the reply.
And yeah, I’m kind of looking at it in the sense of how a FOH engineer will EQ their matrix to the PA, without changing their original mix coming off the board. But, as a Monitor Engineer, I have like 12 different "PA’s(IEM’s etc..) and each person’s IEM’s are different. In my brain, having matrix’s separate than Aux use cases makes more sense. But, you are certainly correct.
