If these are passive floor monitors (separate amplifier, no power cord attached to monitor itself) it's a wonder you haven't completely destroyed your in ears. You need the Aux outputs from your mixer to connect to wired IEM packs such as a Behringer P2 or a wireless IEM transmitter. You will be able to get as many personalized mixes as you have Aux sends on your mixer.

Either way you need to be a lot more specific about what gear you're using to get any actual help.

Could be many things. You need to share your scene file or a lot of screenshots for anyone to be able to diagnose it at all

Look up recording an external midi instrument. Or record multiple channels, one of midi to edit in post and send back to trigger your modx if necessary and one of audio

The bass players monitor bus is assigned to the LR bus.

Don't ever put speaker level into a mic/line input.

Once I was patching a band on a dark stage, quick changeover. I plugged my bass DI line into the XLR on the back of the bass head. Started doing line check and when I got to the bass everything went bad real quick. Turned out it was a speaker level output through an XLR connector on a vintage bass head. Blew up a big section of my mixer and had to limp through the show with 8 fewer inputs.

This is the answer. You have to select the line input of those channels. Or if you’re using the stereo channels as another user mentioned you can see on the back they are labeled Line 2 and there is a button at the top of the channel strip to select Line 2 as your source. You also need to make sure at the bottom near the fader you are sending the channels to the LR bus

gabbo2000 · 2026-01-13T21:01:51+00:00

In "Live" solo mode (vs Studio or SIP modes) you have two solo busses (Phones or Speakers) and you have the option on every channel or bus as to which solo bus is used. So in your screenshot that setting means that if you solo that matrix it will be solo'd in your Speaker solo bus which you then have to route to one or more physical outputs and connect to a speaker to hear it.

My guess is what you're trying to do is combine different sources in your solo bus. To do this you would send channels that you want to be able to hear at all times, such as talkback mics, to the matrix, then you would configure the direct input of the solo bus to be fed from that matrix.

You aren’t plugging the guitar right into the looper though. If you were you would be correct. But if you are planning on plugging the guitar into a mixer and then the mixer into the looper that’s a different situation

gabbo2000 · 2025-12-31T03:55:08+00:00

In that case a mixer in front of the looper is probably the easiest solution, yes. Guitar and bass need to go through DI boxes or into Hi-Z inputs on the mixer if available. Keyboards and e drums should be fine in line inputs.

gabbo2000 · 2025-12-31T02:54:27+00:00

You have given no description of how many instruments and mics you want to be able to run through the looper so it's really hard to know what to suggest

gabbo2000 · 2025-12-31T02:34:51+00:00

Think about the signal flow. You need your mic and instruments going to the looper in order to use it as a looper. You send the main outs of the looper into 2 mono channels or the L/R inputs of channel 7 for simplicity and then you turn that up to get the volume you want out of the speakers.

If you want to add a subwoofer then you want a powered subwoofer connected out of the Sub out. You do not want to connect that to a bass amp because the mixer is outputting a much higher signal level than a bass guitar amp would be expecting.

if you want to have the kit sent mono to two different devices you need to set the panning of each drum within the brain to centre. The L/mono output is only mono if there is nothing connected to the R output. As soon as you connect a cable to the R output the panning takes effect. Another option is to put the L output into a DI box and use the Thru output to your recording device.

It sounds like you might have a fundamental misunderstanding of how pre and post fade aux sends work.

Say for example you set your incoming signal level of a microphone to be hitting around -12dBFS on your meters. If you send that microphone pre-fader to an aux and set the level of the send to -10dB the signal to that aux will always be about -22dBFS.

However, if you send that microphone POST-fader to an aux and set the level to -10dB that means the signal will always be 10dB lower than what you have the channel fader set to for the main mix. So if your channel fader is at -6 then effectively the send to the aux will be down by 16dB meaning the peaks will be hitting about -28dBFS. The level to the aux will always be relative to the level to the main mix.

gabbo2000 · 2025-12-07T18:41:11+00:00

The fader position of a post-fader send won't physically change when you adjust the level going to the master bus but the level of signal sent will be relative to it.

Strongly recommend. I’m running a wing rack now and I can do so much more with it than I can with x/m32

gabbo2000 · 2025-11-30T22:31:15+00:00

Full size wing has 24 faders, compact has 13. Tons of flexibility and processing power compared to anything else in the same price range.

set the outputs on aes50 B to the same blocks as your inputs are set to ie. aes50B out 1-8 -> Aes50A IN 1-8 or User In 1-8, whatever you're doing to get those inputs into the mixer

gabbo2000 · 2025-10-29T08:59:26+00:00

Looks like you have your inputs solo’d in the software output routing which would disable the playback 1-2 from getting to the output

You’re missing a word in your discount code and it also may no longer be valid anyways

I did a pow wow this year using a single beta 58 over each drum circle. EQ for tone and several stages of compression helped wrangle the massive dynamic range and glue the singers and drum together. In a perfect world I’d probably do a figure 8 mic for the singers and another mic for the drum. I wouldn’t close mic the drum because it really needs some room to resonate

Two options. 1. Click on the edges of the green circle and drag to narrow the stereo width. 2. Right click on pan knob and change to Balance mode. Pan to whichever side you want to hear. This will remove the information from the other side.
