First off, I am very impressed with the overall concept and product, including both software and hardware with the DL32R. I just received the unit and spent the weekend in placing hardware in the rack and testing it out in my basement.
This is the setup I am using for the small 4-piece band I play in and run sound...
We have 2 main speakers that we place in front of the band. Then we have 6 speakers we place behind/around the band (like monitors, but not really).
The way I 'mix' the vocals and instruments volumes between the front and 'surround' speakers is by panning each channel left ot right.
So, after reading the manual rather quickly, I used the Matrix 1,2, and 3 to route Outputs 12 through 7... like, Matrix 1 was routed to 12 and 11 outputs that went to one set of speakers, etc. Each Matrix input (1,2 and 3) was designated to the RIGHT channel of the 2 choices of left and right volume faders.
I then went into the 'output Matrix' of the software to map the LEFT channel to Outputs 14 and 13... and then for Matrix 1, outputs 12 and 11, and for Matrix 2 outputs 10 and 9, etc. designated teh RIGHT channel.
My logic for this setup is to utilized an seperate EQ and Compressor per each pair of speakers.. plus, all the amps going to each speaker are not the same wattage, so overall quick volume controll can be achieved.
I think this is the correct setup, but any input, or other type of setup would be appreciated.
Thanks,
