Hi Collin
In a nut shell, Matrixes are just extra outputs. They can be fed only by outputs, eg. Mains. So when you thought you were removing inputs from the Matrix, you were in fact removing them from the mains.
Do this:
– press Mix on the desired matrix
– go to your mains LR and make sure it says On, then turn LR up. That will feed the LR to the matrix
– do the above two steps to another matrix (stereo or mono)
Now you will have two outputs that are fed from your LR. You can now EQ, compress and etc independently.
If you still need some hints on how to set it up, give me a call and ill guide u through it.
