As the pandemic isn't going anywhere and the (thankfully) cautious churches in california aren't letting people in any time soon, I'm still sitting home wishing I could be mixing something.
Here's what I'm thinking.
Thought 1: I send the LR feed that's also going to the record/livestream to some other point to point software/service that allows me to listen at home. Then I remote desktop into the computer that's running the Allen Heath SQ app so I have fader control.
Someone else can deal with muting the pastor so timing isn't affected, but I'd be able to make band adjustments.
Thought 2: Setup a VPN server at the church so I can be on the same network when I connect from home. Not sure if Dante and NDI would just fail over the VPN or if I could manually increase the desired lag?
I get that there would be a delay because of the internet, but I could atleast make sweeping adjustments to the mix that currently aren't being done.
What they've been doing for the past 6 months is putting a piece of paper on the console that says don't touch. No mixing whatsoever and I have a massive compressor on the feed that goes to the record so they can't screw it up too badly. Also it's usually the same cast: 1 vocal, acoustic gtr, bass & drums.
Ideas would be helpful. Essentially I want something to do and miss mixing, I'm not trying to defy physics or come up with a "real" solution. There still are people at the church running slides and doing the livestream, I'm just high risk and too smart? to want to be stuck in a booth, no matter how socially distanced they want me to think they've adjusted it.
