[QUOTE="Christian Boche, post: 63941, member: 1698"] Re: X32 Input Map thoughts Thanks for your nice words, I really appreciate that! I find it quite hard, to give some serious tips concernig mixing. I won't consider myself as a "pro". Altthough I can make a living with mixing music live and in the studio, I'm not good enough to do something else than regional bands and events. But I'm fine with that, gives me even more freedom to mix:-) What I do different than other foh soundguys, is maybe the fact, that I like to translate mixing technique from the studio into live mixing. So I use tons of EQ, Compression and FX, if I think the mix demands this. Two years ago I made a mixing tutorial with my SAC rig, showing some not so usual ways of mixing. Maybe look into it. The tutorial is in German, but it is quite clear, what I'm doing with EQ, FX and so on. Here is an multitrack session of a live mix I made with my SAC rig.
