If you use the fader of your dca instead of the mute button, you won’t effect your aux mixes.
Sure – I get that… And that’s what I’ve been doing. But by pulling the fader of the DCA to 0, you also are now effectively adjusting the house level just to keep audio going to the aux mixes. That’s not very ideal, and on most consoles I’ve used in the past DCA muting doesn’t impact the aux mixes unless I’m sending to the aux mix post-fader (because a DCA Mute is essentially just pulling the channel fader to 0).
Work with mutegroups, and seperate mutegroups for your voice or break chan. This will do nice, and every other technition will be able to work with it.
Again, I understand where you are coming from. In my case, the way I see it is it adds one more moving part into the workflow. And mutegroups will hard-mute channels, which still doesn’t accomplish my goal of killing the send to the house and not to my aux mixes.
Thanks though!
