The master section of my Allen heath is definitely colorful, but so are the group buss. A signal out of a direct out, a group out, and the master bus do sound a little different. Not sure bypassing the master and using some other summing mixer would be worth it. If I were to do something like that I'd want something like the 32ch heritage summer with groups and I'd come out of channel direct outs into it. Seems like a way to use a sidecar that doesn't have master section to mix.llllllllllllllllllll wrote: Fri Nov 08, 2024 11:19 pm I was looking up hybrid mixer setups and some guy recommended using a live sound mixer’s bus outs into a nicer summing mixer for sort of a fake master section upgrade for mixing. A console cheat, if you will.
I like the idea but I’m not really going to mess with all that. What are the chances it would actually work as intended, ie - an economical and tactile control layout with an improved sound? Or with the live sound desk at that stage still be doing its thing?
I’m sure its splitting hairs to a certain extent either way, but I’m wondering how much the master section of a mixer has to do with whatever sound its imparts vs the earlier stages.
