Sometimes it's simply best if I go to bed...
My son plays in a praise band at his school every Thu morning. Style is pretty much coldplay/keane/mute math/athlete. I got them an LS9-32. We've duped all the channels so that 33-64 are effectively a dedicated mons board so we can EQ their ears seperate from FOH. It's kinda tough though for the kids mixing to do a good mons mix, they simply don't have the experience. It's been tough for my son and a couple of other musicians who are doing some pro stuff and used to good ear mixes. So...
What if I got a cheap laptop running studio mgr connected via ethernet/wi-fi to the LS9. This would let the musicians tweak their mixes from the stage and let the audio folks just focus on FOH. Aside from the LS9 itself, is anyone aware of a faderpack or inexpensive control surface that would work with studio mgr? I think that they could do it without faders, but the faders would make things easier.
I wasn't able to find sends-on-faders in studio mgr. Does anyone know if it's there? If not I think they could still use a mouse and knobs OK.
Am I nuts to think about doing this?
