I really would love to have possibility to route IEM, WEDGE and PAFL busses where ever I want like to channel inputs, matrixes and so on.
At the moment I hook up mic lead between surfaces AES input and output lines to make this possible which I feel pretty darn awkward at the era of digital consoles.
Sometimes I simply don’t have surface at front of me and I have to survive with Director and iPad and Mixrack is already full.
Oh wait Why?
Because I want to have some of talkbacks only to my ears (my lead signer, walkie-talkies) and some others also to wedge (FOH tb to stage) and possibility to make balanced mix out of everything. I also use ducker in my ears so when someone speaks to me ducker attenuates my IEM bus signal by 20db or so.
Cheers!
