Flashing LED on mix select

[MilowParticipant]

After more than a year I have just mixed the first musicals again and occasionally it happened to me that I ended up in the wrong mix. That still seems like a real challenge with this otherwise great desk. The desired “latching” option for the mix buttons would really help and a more noticeable visualization would make sense. Personally, I wouldn’t prefer even more flashing buttons (mute and tap tempo buttons flash enough), but inverted scribble strip colors or a modified main display would be good. Perhaps it would also be helpful if non-functioning faders of a layer (e.g. FX sends, MTX, group to group, …) were switched off in the aux mix (black strip display, faders on the bottom). What do you think of that?

This happened to me, too. I would like a bigger, brighter, blinky thing, or some sort of indication that I’m on a mix other than LR. Fantastic desk!

Im fairly experienced now and rarely make this mistake but I still do occasionally and it’s been a painful lesson to learn.

Make it an option so that perfect people needn’t bother (like on MixPad app where you can choose To flash faders as a warning).

It happened to me this weekend, slice in an effect and impossible to turn up the volume! moment of stress before seeing that I was not on the LR mix.
I look forward to the next update, it will be soon?

+1 for the momentary/single press option combined with a visual representation

Like @steffenr said, selected mix blinking will not be a solution to this problem I think.

Anothers brand use a good way to show us we are working on mix:
– all mix light on / blinking the selected mix you are working on.
– all mix light off when you are back to your Main.

But I like this idea of « mono color » for channel strips too. And it could be the color of your selected mix channel strip.

Sorry once again for my language!

[AlexParticipant]

And we can add a button on setup page called « channel strip color follow mix color ». Then everybody use his own solution. With it or without.

+1 on the Momentary Latch while holding a mix. I can see that as a good speed tool 👍

[tourtelotParticipant]

Pretty please?

Perhaps creating an option to make the aux-mix and fx buttons individually selectable to be “momentary” would solve a lot of this.
((AH, I see now this is already a popular solution))

[GarethHDParticipant]

+1 for latch/momentary option on mix select

[John@CreechBCParticipant]

Agree to some form of more obvious visual indication of which mix is selected

[joalpParticipant]

+1 for a flashing LED or a color change in the scribble strip

[AndyParticipant]

+1 I like some ideas like flashing (pulsating) light, latch4moment option, color change or touchscreen or maybe configurable over the lightbar?
