- Foldback for a musician or a singer - so they can hear themselves or the rest of the band. Could also be for dancers, performers of other arts.
- Remote broadcast mix - a mix of a band or a show that is separate from the mix inside the performance space, suited for a broadcast as opposed to a mix for an auditorium or a theatre
- Monitoring mix - a mix for persons or technical staff around a venue or studio to allow them to listen into the performance or show, but not necessary having all the sources in the show, just the ones that cue them to what is happening. This may be directed into the talkback system so operators using headset packs can also hear the production.
- Talent In Ear - It is imperative you find a very small talented person to live in your ear.
- DDR Playback Monitor - a monitor dedicated to playing back just DDR source for a studio floor so the staff and talent can follow along with the audio and be ready for their cues.
- A Sound Effect mix - usually just called FX, creating a mix of sources to be sent to an FX unit, like a reverb or delay, and then returned to the main mix.
- Sub Groups - Creating a mini mix of a few sources, and treating them as one "mix", which is then sent to the main mix. You might group for instance, all of your discussion microphones in a panel type discussion, so you can bring all of them up or down as needed.
- Matrix Mix - a Matrix mix is a special type of mix because it is usually fed off the main mix, but can also take sources from other channels as well. They are used to feed full mixes to other parts of a venue, perhaps an overflow room, and outside broadcast, a recording feed to a computer.
Creating a sub mix on the Yamaha CL3There are a few ways to create a sub mix on the Yamaha CL3, some of which are easier to do, but others might be quicker overall. You should familiarise yourself with how this works if you need to create these sorts of mixes. | |
| Sends on Fader / Flip to Faders / Mix on Faders A common and easy way to create aux mixes, Sends on Fader puts the Aux mix onto the faders, so any changes on the faders themselves changes the mix. When doing this, you will see the faders move into position automatically as you switch between mixes. This is an easy way to mix, but its also easy to forget that you are on Sends on Fader and wondering why your program mix isnt changing when you move faders. Remember to hit the X button to flip back to normal program mix. This is the easiest way to mix Aux Mixes, but can cause problems as its not always obvious which mix you are on. |
| Using the Mix knobs The colourful knobs to the left of the LCD screen are the aux controls for the selected channel. Which ever channel is highlighted by the SEL green light (or highlighted on the LCD screen), those knobs will adjust the level of that channel into those aux channels. There are two banks there, one for 1-16, and 17-24. When you turn these, you will also get a feedback level on the LCD screen, and pressing the knob will bring up a window to allow you to control the level across a bank of 8 channels in the row for that mix, and also set the post and pre function of that channel into that mix. |
| Using the Assign Knob The knob above each channel strip allows you to adjust Gain, Pan or Assign for that channel. You can toggle this using the button below those labels. Assign will send that channel to the selected Mix (whatever is highlighted by the SEL light on the third bank of faders). This would be very handy if you had one mix you needed to adjust frequently without flipping to faders. |
