I think this is a misunderstanding of the ME-1 units. You send audio to the devices rather than using them as a control surface.

So, you can send an AUX as a channel to the ME-1s but the audio output is then at the ME-1 rather than from the GLD.

So yes if you have unpowered wedges…

Output from GLD (direct outs etc) -> ME-1 -> Output to amp -> wedge

The best use for them is going to be with IEMs (headphones) or powered wedges. But with wedges you will need to be careful so that musicians don’t give themselves too much “me”

You can feed the ME1 with channel direct outs if you want to, and these can be made post mute.

The ME1 is a mixer, like the GLD is. The normal thing to do would be to feed it signal from the input sockets, but you can send anything else to it too, such as a direct out, a subgroup, an aux mix etc.

It’s done in the I/O page under “Monitor”.

If you’re going to do that you don’t need to use an aux mix to do it. Just assign a direct out from the channel to the output socket.

EDIT: And make the direct out post fader and post mute.

Good point. the ME1 seems a bit redundant though if you’re still burning up mixes on the console. IEM’s are where personal mixers really work well, the musician can have the starwars theme tune in their ears and it doesn’t matter to anyone else.

If you’re wanting remote control of the auxes on the desk the ipad app or the editor (in development) would do that for you. I’m not sure if you can lock either of them out of other mixes, but that might not be needed if you’re working with sensible people who won’t touch stuff they’ve been told not to. [] There’s a purpose designed app for the iLive which does do control of individual mixes, so it’s not unforeseeable.

Be careful with the ambient mic built into the ME1. I’m not sure if it’s audio can get to the XLR output or only goes through the headphone jack but no amount of GEQ would stop the feedback if that got routed to a wedge.
