First Monitor Mixing Gig - suggestions?
Douglas Cyr:
Ok I'm feeling pretty confident about this.
Last real question is will X32 EDIT work for the M32? I don't only used it for X32.

Absolutely, as long as thy'e the same version of firmware. X32 and M32 are the same mixer.
Brian Adams:
The nice thing about mixing just monitors is that you can pretty much live in Fader Flip mode. Everything you need will be right there, easy to get to. If you're familiar and comfortable with the M32, you should be in great shape for this gig.

Same on the Compact. Faster to push multiple faders at once than turn multiple knobs.

... That's interesting, I haven't used this before. Are you saying you can select an INPUT, and use the Bus Master Faders as Sends to those busses, rather than the Aux Bus Encoder Knobs? How do you Access this mode?
... As Tim Said, it's ideal to take both a direct and a booth feed from the DJ. I use the Direct feed (same as FOH) for the other mixes on stage, in this case your Rapper's IEMs and Wedges. Then, send the booth mix back to the DJ's monitors. That gives the DJ control of his own booth level, while still giving you control over the output bus EQ and gain structure, allowing you to add your own limiter, and then mix in the Rapper's vocal.

Select a channel, press "fader flip" or whatever the button is labeled... and the bus masters become the sends to the buses for the selected channel. Take a good look at the scribble strips and you'll see they changed to reflect the operation.
The reverse works as well - select a mix output and press fader flip... the *channels* on the visible layer become sends on faders and this behavior will persist if you change fader banks until you re-press the fader flip button.
