[QUOTE="brian maddox, post: 41833, member: 158"] Re: Digital mixer - pros and cons? i phrased my statement poorly. should have said 'as another over-thinking sound guy [who works at a church], you've piqued my interest'. i figured you were working [I]with[/I] a church, not [I]a[/I]t a church. if you're mixing it yourself, these problems are fairly easy to solve. making it volunteer proof is another matter entirely... :) fun problem. my first thought is to make it somehow 'additive'. so you'd have your channels split as you said, but rather than having them be FOH and monitor channels, they'd be 'mix' and 'more' channels. use the mix channel as they do now with pre-fader monitor sends. then route the 'more' fader in the same way but make all the sends post fader. bring it up such that it is just under the existing levels of the 'mix' channels and bring all the post fader sends up to just below current levels as well. when the person is singing lead, bump their 'more' channel up and it'll go up in house and monitors. when they're done, bring it back down and the 'mix' fader 'takes over' again... don't know if that would work, but if i was standing behind a desk that's the first thing i'd try...
