11.13.9. Create IEM mixes with ambience
In Monitor mode the matrix continues to be fed with the 4 groups; L and R mixes. You can use these
to create additional independent monitor mixes. Together with the auxes these give you as many as
10 mixes. Create mono or stereo in-ear monitor feeds using single or paired matrices, for example
MTX1-2 and 3-4. You could use LR to start with a basic stereo mix, and then add up to four
instruments or ‘more me’ groups. Add ambience using a pair of jack leads to patch the stereo channel
MIC outputs 15 and 16 into matrix EXT IN 1 and 2. With nothing plugged into EXT IN 3 and 4 the two
mix signals are automatically linked across making the same stereo ambience available to both IEM
mixes. Alternatively you could use an outboard reverb effects processor fed from a post-fade aux send
to create the ambience. Use the channel faders and pan to create the basic stereo mix. Remember to
set the other monitor aux sends to pre-fade.
11.13.10. Using the matrix to create a recording
The band may be acoustically loud in the room, and you need only mix vocals and some of the
instruments into the PA to get good clarity and overall balance for the listeners. If you recorded the
console main output you would be disappointed when you got home and listened to the result. For
example, there may be strong voices, acoustic guitar and flute, but the drums, bass and electric guitar
may be low. This is because you did not need much of these backline instruments in the PA mix.
However, if you use the matrix to feed the recording you could start with the main LR (PA) mix, then
turn up the drum and the guitar groups to compensate for the lack of these in the house system. You
could also add in ambience as described above to give the recording more life by including audience
reaction and natural reverberation.
11.14. Recording with the mixing console
The console is equally at home recording live or in the studio project. The studio grade preamps
produce an accurate and noise-free recording. Create a stereo recording from the main LR output, or
from a pair of matrices as described above if recording and mixing live at the same time. To record to
multitrack use whichever combination of groups, matrix, auxes and channel direct outputs is most
convenient. The direct outputs are set pre-insert, pre-EQ as factory default. This setting means that
the recording is not affected by your live fader and EQ changes.
11.15. Pre/post fade Aux settings
The aux sends are switched pre or post fader using two PRE switches on every channel. One switch
affect auxes 1-4, the one other auxes 5 and 6. It is usual to set auxes pre-fade if you are mixing
monitors from FOH. Set post-fade for auxes used as effect sends, zone feeds, aux-fed subs and so
on. If you are using the console to mix monitors only than auxes are typically set post-fade so that the
