Title: Questions About Hard Drive Music Playback
Post by: c172essna on October 12, 2016, 07:21:44 PM

We're using MF 4.5. Preshow and break music have been converted to WAV files, loaded on the formatted, hard drive, and are appearing and playing in Master Fader. Here are my questions...

Is there a way to select a specific hard drive playback channel on the mixer? Currently, it is only playing back through channels 1 and 2 which are dedicated to vocals. Is that normal?

Also, playback is only playing a single song (i.e. not advancing to the next song). How is that remedied?

Playback is USB 1+2 and can be routed to any channel default is return 1+2 and channel 1b and 2b,
there is single , continuos and shuffle at the top off the playback window

Thank you. This makes sense and is very helpful.

One set-up aspect that I'm still unsure of is how to reroute Return 1+2 from channels 1 and 2 (the USB 1/2 default setting) to a different channel that I chose.

Go to routing select input A (or B ) , find USB 1 and 2 on the left find the channel at the top and join them by tapping where they meet , and go to the channel select input A (or B)
