Good day everyone,
I'm glad i found this forum, as I'm quite new to the AV world, recently got hired as a AV + IT at a school.
In 2.5 weeks our school will be recording a play (no audience due to COVID), and i was wondering about the setup + settings to get this working.
The external company we hired shared they will use an ATEM, which includes a 1/8 audio input jack. For the school, we have a LS-9 32. we will be using 14 microphones inputs (Lav Mics) , + 4 inputs for Qlab on a mac mini Using Echo AudioFire 12
I spoke with the external company and to keep it simple with the equipment we have - he suggest we use a XLR to 1/4 Cable with a 1/8 adapter which he will be plugging it into the ATEM's audio input to to send the mix from the board to the ATEM.
On the LS-9, i would be putting all 18 inputs into one mix and send it to the house speakers/stage speakers/ ATEM. I will be mixing live during the show as if the show is live, and have created scenes on LS-9 for each scene for the play
I do have some questions about this setup - hope to hear others with similar experience and share best practices
- Any specific setup i should / need to do on the LS-9 to ensure the audio is output to the ATEM correctly?
- I'm a bit concern because when i tested it on a macbook pro with the cable, in the System Preferences > Sound > Input, it's not showing it as an option, rather it's only showing it as an Output as an external microphone. (This may have to do with the port on the new macbook pros)
- any thing else i may have missed?
Thanks a bunch
