Hi All
I have now been using SAC for IEMS for around two years, with great success, the show I use it on varies from a basic five pieces to a 21 piece and sometimes more all on in ears. We have to have Talk Mic from FOH and monitors to enable a smooth line check and sound check. However during the show the musicians do not want the talk back mics but it would be good if I could hear the FOH engineer should he need to talk to me. I have been trying to configure my talk mic and the FOH talk mic to always go to the solo buss no matter what I am doing. We need it so I and the backline tech who is also on the solo buss can hear the FOH engineer.
I tried by using one mixer for the TAlk Mics and routing these to the same ASIO output as the solo bus but whenever I solo channel or mixer it disappears.
The only workaround I can think of is is to use two outputs for each mixer one for the musician and one for me, however this then leaves the possibility open that a mixer outputs may be muted without me knowing and we all know the problems this can lead to. I guess I could use a side mixer for the solo bus and bring the talk mics in there also, but that defeats the compactness of the sac system.
Does anyone have any better ideas? Or suggestions that would avoid the above pitfalls?
