[QUOTE="BJ James, post: 3012, member: 87"] I'm playing around on my LS9 setting up a show for this weekend. I sometimes use center fills, and have always used an aux(Mix) for that. A visiting BE came through a few weeks ago who wanted it set up to do center fills on matrix- it's how it was on his show file. I don't get the advantage of matrix over a mix for this purpose, but I'm open to learning why. If I'm understanding this correctly a Matrix takes variable levels from an aux or a mix of aux's (or Mix's)and sends out to whatever flavour of output you select...lets say Omni 9 for Matrix 1. So why wouldn't I take a Mix instead, say Mix 9, and use SOF to create my center fill mix, and out it to Omni 9? The only thing I can think of, is if you were out of Aux's, you could hobble a CF mix together using aux's out to the matrix. I guess I need a short lesson on the use of Matrix's. The manual does not go into much detail. Thanks, BJ [/QUOTE]
