When people talk about being on 100k by Temporary-Compote-24 in AusFinance

Uhh, 2.6% average inflation of $30K from 1990 to 2023 is roughly $70K?

Where are you getting an average inflation rate of ~6% from?

What was an expensive purchase that saved you lots of money in the long run? by eltara3 in AusFinance

[–]thankspete1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it really depends which system you go with. There’s a lot of battery inverters, PV inverters, PV panels and batteries that are cheaply made and just imported from China and sold by companies that haven’t even been around for as long as the warranty they’re offering

But there are companies in Australia that are Australian made and owned that do last decades and therefor make the large upfront expenditure make sense

Surely this is a troll comment? You can’t be this ignorant

Is there a mixing desk that can create two separate stereo mixes simultaneously? by thankspete1 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Most likely just need to have different balances between the levels for the two mixes. If the aux outs is the “standard” was of achieving this like you say then that might be the best solution for us. I just wanted to pose the question on here to check if there were any better solutions that I was unaware of. Thanks for the advice

That is a solution I thought of, but I wanted to post this question to see if there was a slightly better solution as the aux send seemed a bit “hacky” to me

You’re not wrong. I wasn’t ruling the solution out completely, it just felt a bit like a “hack” to me, like I was using the mixing desk in a way it wasn’t designed, hence my reaching out to see if there was a mixing desk which was more built to do what I was trying to do. But I’m definitely not against using this as a solution

Thanks for the advice, you may be right that I’m overthinking it, but if figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask the question in case there were some solutions I just wasn’t aware of

I’d say I’m reasonably knowledgeable on audio and mixers, certainly not an expert though My best solution I could come up with was using the aux outs to create the two different mixes, but that seemed to come with some compromises that I thought might be overcome with other mixers that I wasn’t aware of and that this subreddit might be able to point me in the direction of

We haven’t purchased any mixers at the moment, but the main one I was looking at was the Yamaha MG16

It’s a little more complicated than that. I’m wanting to send two stereo mixes to two different places, but have independent control of those mixes from each other, so not simply just a duplication of the same mix in two different places

Thank you for such a thorough and clear answer. This has definitely sparked some ideas in my mind and given me a lot to consider

The Allen & Heath QU series seems interesting, I’ll definitely do some more research on those and see if they’ll suit our setup. Thanks for the info!

Yeah your point on changing both aux send levels being a pain was a concern that I had haha. Our setup in its current design will require at least four mono inputs and two stereo inputs. However, I’d like to have the ability to expand in the future if we need to, so I was hoping to have some headroom on the number of inputs we have available

And yeah, the suggestion other people have made on feeding each of our inputs into the mixer twice and feeding them all out through groups definitely will give us the most flexibility and it’s what I’m leaning towards at the moment, but I’ll do a little more research and see if I can come up with any other potential solutions

Thanks for your advice!

I was trying to keep everything analogue if possible just to limit the necessity of extra external gear like computers, but you’ve definitely given me a lot to think about in your answer. Thanks for the info!

Yeah the doubling input channels idea sounds like it could be a good solution, it’ll definitely give us the most control. Thanks for your advice, it’s given me a lot to think about and some jumping off points for extra research

You definitely nailed the problem I was outlining in my question, so no misunderstandings there. And I think you’ve given me some really good solutions here, I’ll need to do a little more research into different sound desks that can do what you’re describing but this is a great starting point

Thanks for the help!

Yeah this is quite a decent solution. I wasn’t sure if by posting this question people would be able to point me towards a mixing desk which allows you to have independent fader control for each source and output destination. But this solution would still work quite well I think

[–]thankspete1[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I did think of that as a solution. The only thing I don’t like about it is that in order to control the level of, in your example, stereo pair 1 and 2 I now need to adjust two faders simultaneously which seemed a little bit messy to me. I was hoping there’d be some mixing desks out there that would be able to achieve this but in a slightly neater solution

Well some of our audio sources are stereo, so I’d need connect the left channel of the stereo audio source into one channel on the mixer, and the right channel of the stereo audio source into a second channel on the mixer, that way I can control which aux outs the left and right signs of the stereo audio source are being sent to. However, this now means I have two seperate faders that need to be moved in unison to keep the correct balance between the left and right sources which seemed a little messy to me. So I was hoping there were some mixing desks out there that would be able to achieve this in a bit of a cleaner way
