Is there a way to make a channel group function pre-fade in an auxiliary mix?
We’re using an SQ5 for a live venue (Main L/R) as well as a livestream (Aux4), and have a couple of condenser mics to capture audience reaction at certain times (volume, etc. needs to be variable). The audience reaction level needs to be much higher in the livestream than in Main L/R. We have them all in a DCA group and each individual mic is set to Pre-Fade in the Aux4 mix. We are however running into a few issues:
1. Typically the audience reaction levels need to changed at the same time that a bunch of Main L/R changes need to be made and these transitions are proving difficult.
2. Even if we can find an additional person to work Aux4 using the MixPad app, clicking and dragging each slider is less than ideal
3. We can eliminate the difficulty if we just mute/unmute the DCA group, but there’s a sharp and noticeable cut-in/cut-out compared to sliding the levels up and down.
4. There are occasions that we want to amplify someone in the front into Main L/R, or additional musicians show up and use these, so just taking them out of Main L/R altogether isn’t an option.
Is it possible to set this DCA group to pre-fade in the Aux4 mix (or is there something equivalent)? A single slider for all the condensers would improve the situation dramatically.
