Question

I'm using the 16.0.2  I have created a backing tracking with instrumentation panned to the  right and click track panned to the left. This is sent from my laptop in stereo into Channels 15/16. I want to send the left channel to the drummer's Aux and the right (instrumentation) channel to FOH. The drummer can mix aux input L/R volumes using the ********* P1 in-ears unit.

What I don't know how to do is to ensure that the right channel, which contains the instrument track, plays out of both FOH speakers, not just the right side.

How to do this on the 16.0.2?

Answer 1

You'll want to go into a pair of mono inputs (7 & 8, for example.) So for example, you can send click track (left channel) into Input 7 and assign it whichever Aux mix you'd like. Then you can send the instrumentation track (right channel) to Input 8 and assign it to the main outs/whichever Aux mixes you'd like.

If you're planning on coming out of the 3.5MM jack on a laptop, you may want to use a DI box like this one: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ProAV2

Answer 2

So signal from left channel (click) goes into let's say, input 7, right channel (instrument track) goes input 8. Then I'd set the drummer's aux channel for a health dose of channel 7, drop the volume for the click track to zero for the FOH, while boosting the volume for channel 8 so that it matches what's needed for the overall FOH mix. In this scenario, I don't need to pan left/right as I was originally going to do.

Is this correct?
