QU-32 routing question
Stephen Swaffer:
I have 3 sets of speakers I need to have slaved-main, sidefill and overflow. For various reasons, I need each on a separate mix-I would like to control our choir mics as a group, using group processing-but I would also like to have a group master that keeps the 3 sets of speakers tracking together.
So far, the only way I find to accomplish this is using a group and a DCA. That is not the end of the world; however, at times it can defeat the advantage of a group if I am trying to mix the choir with either instruments, or occasionally we will have a group (more often a soloist-but that is obviously easier to mix).
What am I overlooking?

Considering there are only 2 matrix outs available , your solution seems the most straight forward.

Are you wanting to build completely separate mixes for each zone?
Stephen Swaffer:
To an extent, yes. We have a 9 ft Grand Baldwin in the auditorium-it needs little to no help in the auditorium, but it needs help in the overflow. We are starting to try and build an orchestra-mainly brass and some woodwinds, they too tend to get lost in the overflow with the acoustics of the room, but not really need much if anything in the main auditorium.
We also occasionally use the overflow as a separate room at the some time as the main auditorium (just for a single teacher)-the QU gives us the flexibiliy to use it as a "split" PA and just run one of the cordless mics through that mix only for that use. I could use scenes to recongifure the whole system in that case though.
Most of the mix is the same-just some tweaks here and there.
Mike Caldwell:
With the need to be able to customize the mix per each zone using the main L R for the main room and a mix/aux for the overflow and fill room zones may be the best bet. Most likely you would want the mixes feeding the other two zones to be set post fade post all. The masters for the mains and the two zone mixes controlled with a DCA.
That all maybe what your kind of doing now.
If needed don't forget that the groups can be converted to additional mixes.
