Hi Guys,
I have a routing question:
First I have to explain our setup:
We have a FOH X32 and we have a X32 Rack, together with a S16 at the stage.
On the rack:
1-16 = S16 1-16 over AES50A.
17-24 = Local 1-8
25-32 = channels from the X32 via AES50B.
X32:
1-8 = local 1-8
9-16 = The 17-24 from the rack
17-24 = S16 1-8(piggybagged through the Rack)
25-32 = S16 9-16(same).
The reason for the weird routing is as follows:
The rack and the S16 are used for IEM. But we don't always have a band each sunday.
Furthermore, on services where there is no band, the setup is only speakers, piano and some ambience for broadcast.
So on a sunday without band, sometimes people do the sound who don't have a great understanding of the setup, so we don't want them to have to work with the Rack and the S16. Therefore we have the signals for the normal service directly to the FOH x32. (channels 1-8).
When we have the band, we want to have the pastor on our IEM and we use the ambience mics for ambience in the IEM.
That's why our routing is so weird.
The problem is: The routing goes in groups of 8.
But I want to have 3 extra channels going from the FOH to the rack (a talkback from the Sound engineer and stereo media player).
But I can't seem to find a way to do it. I tried to route through the AUX remap, but on the Rack, only AES50B channels 1-8 are available.
Is there any way to route the 3 extra channels, without having to give up another 8 channels total in the generic routing tab?
Thnx for helping!
