Auxiliary (Stage Monitor) Mixes

There are two general approaches to setting up stage monitor mixes:

Input by Input

With all the performers on stage, ask each performer in turn to play or sing just one thing (Kick, Snare, Guitar, Sax, etc). Ask each performer how

much of that instrument they want in their monitor. Our guess is that they will all say "that's plenty" during sound check and then ask for lots more

after the first song – just sayin'.

To Set Up Monitor Mixes:

You will see sliders representing the send levels to all the aux mixes. Auxes 7/8 and 9/10 are stereo auxes so each has a Pan control. If any mono auxes

are linked they also have Pan controls.

Adjust

for each performer in turn then use the

Mix by Mix

In this approach, you'll dial in a complete monitor mix for one performer at a time. There are two ways of doing this.

Overview Screen

One way is from the Aux Overview screen. The Aux Overview screen, as the name implies, provides a view of all the aux mixes for a bank of channels

at once, in matrix format.

To Set Up Monitor Mixes:

Each horizontal row of sliders represents one of your monitor mixes. If you have named your Aux outputs, the name displays above the Master slider

on the right of the screen. Auxes 7/8 and 9/10 are stereo auxes so each has a Pan control. If any mono auxes are linked they also have Pan controls.

Touch any

Mix-on-Faders

This screen presents the controls for one Aux Mix at a time using the same style of large faders as the Home screen.

To Set Up Monitor Mixes:

Touch the Aux Mix Select to go to the mix you want, then use the faders to adjust the sends to the selected Aux Mix. If necessary, select another bank

of channels. Mix-on-Faders is the perfect method for a performer using the TouchMix App to dial in their own stage monitor – they see only the

channel sends for their monitor.
