(Musical Theatre Show) 16 input channels taken up by radio mics, all feeding Main LR, with a DCA assigned to quickly control them as a whole if required. Also all with a post-fader send to a bus which is then sent to a selection of Band Mon buses, so that the monitors only have the vocal channels which are live in the FOH mix. I'm happy with that bit, I've used that set-up in the past.

In an ideal world, I'd like to mix the individual vocal mics using the input faders, and then have a pre-fader 'group' of all the vocal channels which I can then pull up for the chorus bits of script and singing. Basically, I won't have time to quickly fade up 15 separate input faders every time the cast have a line together. So I'd like control of them all individually as normal, but then a quick way to have the whole cast live too.
