[QUOTE="Geoff Doane, post: 63706, member: 1155"] Re: Broadcast Mix tips please? This is essentially the setup I use for simultaneous PA and recording/broadcast mix. Generally, I use the stereo mix on the LS9 for the broadcast mix since that has the high resolution meters, and is the default headphone feed when I want to listen to it. The PA is fed off a pair of post-fade auxes (or two pairs, for a dual PA), and another aux for the subs. One other aspect that needs a little extra "help" is the FX. I find I generally need an extra 3 dB or so in the PA, compared to the broadcast mix. As Eric says, once you get it set up, you just mix the PA, and the other stuff pretty much takes care of itself. Another enhancement is adding audience mics, only bused to the broadcast mix, of course. Rather than messing around around with a stereo mic at FOH, and trying to figure out how to delay everything else to line up with it, try a pair of shotguns, aimed at the audience, but coincident with the PA. It may be counter-intuitive, but it does work. You can either ride those faders between songs, or set them up on a comp, keyed from the main PA, to automatically duck when the band is playing.
