Mixer to Share Presets on the Compact: Difference between revisions

Line 15:

=== General Principles ===

For the following discussion, a "side" of the mixer is either Left or Right, or it could be a "buss" or "alt" channel routing.

* Pool ~~one group of similar~~ inputs to one side of the mixer.

* Pool all microphone inputs to one side of the mixer (e.g. LEFT).

* Take the pooled output (~~one side of~~ the mixer) to ~~Power Stand~~ Channel 1 ~~and use a~~ Preset ~~that~~ is ~~appropriate for the input.~~

** Take the pooled output (LEFT output the mixer) to Compact Channel 1 (built-in Preset is Handheld Vocal Microphone)

* Pool ~~another group of similar~~ inputs to the other side of the mixer. ~~Sometimes the similarity is that~~ these inputs do not ~~share a common Preset - so you will use Preset 00~~.

* Pool all other inputs to the other side of the mixer (e.g. RIGHT)

If these inputs are not acoustic guitars with pickups run the mixer RIGHT output to Compact Channel 2 with the ToneMatch switch set to Line Level (down).

* Take the pooled output (the other side of the mixer) to Power Stand Channel 2 and use a Preset that is appropriate for the input, or Preset 00.

** Take the pooled output (RIGHT output the mixer) to Compact Channel 2

** If the inputs are acoustic guitars with pickups set the ToneMatch switch ON (up position)

** If the inputs are NOT acoustic guitars with pickups set the ToneMatch switch to Line Level(down position)

=== Example ===

==== 2 Vocals, 2 Guitars ====

You have two vocal microphones ~~- Shure SM 58 - Recommended Preset #14~~

You have two vocal microphones. Route these through the mixer to Compact Channel 1

You have two similar Acoustic Guitars with pickups ~~- Recommended Preset #40~~

You have two similar Acoustic Guitars with pickups. Route these through the mixer to Compact Channel 2 with ToneMatch switch on (UP).
