I'm trying to figure out if one person can sit on the computer and mix the recording bus, while one sits at the
console and mix the live
house mix?
Hi. If you are still searching out answers, here's one.
If you are operating a show that only requires the use of one layer, for example, layer one, you can assign an input to layer one AND layer two. Then on one of the layers (layer one, for example) turn off the main left, right, or
mono outputs. Make sure that all mixes are off that are used for
stage monitors. Then for the recording decided on what mixes you wish to use and make them post
fader. Those post
fader mixes then go to the omni outs of your choice to the recording device, or use the digital outs. Now, the front of
house live sound engineer uses layer one, while the other person uses layer two on the computer, independently of layer one. As for head phone monitoring for the computer based person... Share or use another omni out to a headphone amp and
send the output signal to that omni out too.
With this setup, you are using the LS9 as two independent consoles. This can also be done for using the LS9 for front of
house as well as
monitor mixing on
stage.
There are some restrictions to this, but it can work well if you really want it to.
Pick up a Motion Computing tablet and the second operator can go where ever they want.
Hope this helps and makes sense (since I'm typing this while exercising...)
Best wishes.
