Sometimes adjusting the main LR fader level or for that matter output mix
main fader levels is needed……another topic for another time.
To your question…..
If the main goal is to keep the everyday users from adjusting the overall main output
levels you’ll need to do some creative output routing on the mixer.
A few ways I can think of right now:
– Use a group output as the master, you would assign every channel on the mixer and FX returns (if you use FX) to a one of the two sub groups, do not assign that sub group to the main LR mix, use that sub groups outputs to run the mains. The sub groups have the same full output processing as the main LR has.
The sub groups can be blocked in the standard and basic user settings.
– Another way would be to use a mix as the main output, set the mix to post fade, post EQ, on every channel raise that mix level up the unity position, mixes have the same output processing as the main LR and mixes can be blocked in the user settings.
– To really lock them down look at letting them only use the Qu Control APP. In that app you set up control blocks just for the specific channels and or functions you want them to have access to.
Look at the “permission” page when setting up a user level, the function button brings up the page.
Also think about setting up the custom layer only feature, you can build up a custom layer that only contains the channels they are allowed to use.
