[QUOTE="kristianjohnsen, post: 41759, member: 441"] Re: Matrix's on LS9-32 I usually try to route all channels to one of the fixed-level mixes/buses/groups (many names for same thing). This is for mix reasons, it allows me to compress groups of instruments as well as easily raising and lowering entire groups of instruments without screwing with the channel fader relationships. I also like to feed the FX returns into groups, too. These groups are all fed to the master bus. For me, it makes sense to feed front fills from a matrix, and just put a little into the matrix from the buses that I would like to have in the front fills. This way, channel fader relationships, compression and FX are all present in the front-fills in the same way it sound to me from the mains, and I can trust roughly how the front fill mix sounds, even if I can't run up front to check it out. With your acoustic it might get a little more interesting: I usually would not want to burn a group just for one acoustic guitar, I usually chuck it into a guitar group along with the electrics - and I don't want those in the front fills. Unless you have a mixer that allows you to send individual channels to a matrix (very rare) you won't be able to get the acoustic to the front-fills without burning a whole group for that one channel. In cases like this, I might set up a post-fader aux mix for feeding the front-fills and pull up what I need from there. Or I would just sacrifice a group/bus for the acoustic and do it the other way. Hope this makes sense! :) [/QUOTE]
