Re: Yamaha Stage Mix 2.0 News



Of course, you guys are all coming at this from the concert engineer viewpoint. Now, if you mixed sound for stage plays as well like I do, you would say that scene memory access ability would be invaluable. I build scenes for my shows just the same as a LD would. There might be a half dozen or more scenes for any given song if the play's a musical. On the LS9 itself, I have a custom button mapped as a "Go" button of sorts that simply does a scene increment up by one. However, when I mix concert sound I typically select the scene for the upcoming song, and seldom change it until the next song. Sometimes I might have a couple scenes saved for a particular song, but more aften than not it’s just one. With some of my bands, the scene is selected for me via MIDI when the band loads the song on stage. Bottom line though is, for a theater FOH engineer, scene access ability is a must.
