Hey guys,
Had a choice of GLD80 or Yamaha 01v96 for an outdoor event the other day. It was just playback of music playlists plus a few mins for announcements at a swimming competition. I figured the GLD80 may as well go on the job just for the stage box and ease of having some remote inputs by cat5.
How wrong was I to choose that desk!
No gate sidechain? So I can’t make my music duck around a subgroup of vocal mics meaning that every time they wish to speak (using switched wireless mics themselves) I have to duck the music myself. I noticed the auto mic mixer in the recent firmware update but didn’t have time to experiment with this during an event that was already live. Can this achieve what I want? It seems like a huge oversight as sjidechaining gates is certainly nothing new.
