My pleasure -- thanks for watching!

S6L does not currently offer “channel linking” - but - you can take any 2 channels and create a “stereo” channel. Attention any two channels, right click on the second channel attentioned and select “make channels stereo”

@@RobertScovill thanks a bunch! Will try that

Very simple - put the console in CONFIG mode - “attention” any two (or more) inputs or outputs. Right click any of the attentioned channels and select make stereo.

If you’re on version 6.5 or later you can “attention” channels, then select “make stereo” in the right TFT screen.

If that console does not offer ADC, I would suggest doing all insert alignments BEFORE implementing any group delays targeted at latency offsets or microphone delays targeted at propagation offsets. As for delaying music to the vocal bleed I would definitely do that after your latency alignments -- I have done just the drums and I have done all music back to the vocal bleed -- but a word of caution here; you have to pay attention to where the singer is getting his timing cues i.e from close mics in his ears or from the bleed into his mic or is he on wedges? If it's the bleed or wedges and he plays an instrument, you'll have way more success with it. It's a matter of picking the better of the two evils and is a balance of compromises regardless. Choose wisely ... 🙂

@@RobertScovill it does not, not even with their own dyn8. but I went through my I/o with smaart and made sure everything was hitting my pa/sub matrix at the same time. I work at a church without a drum shield, which is fine, and for the most part the main worship leader stays parked in front of the drums. So I was curious how that would sound with the drums/band delayed to the vocal mics. Being I have my routing, band groups to main l/r, would the acoustic delay work better at the main l/r or at the groups. However drums are upstage left. Would it be better to align to vocal mic down stage right since that would be the furthest (they all take turns leading) or to whichever has the most bleed. I’m leaning towards most bleed. Thanks 😊 also, have to figure out a way to get overheads lined up. Have to find a speaker and mount it into a snare. Right now it’s the cable method to lug closest to kick. I tried pink noise from an iPad but the volume wasn’t loud enough to get a solid trace.

@@micahmuth4256If you have a "music group" I would do the alignment there. I would pick an alignment point where the bleed is the worst / most destructive. You'll just have to judge how well it is actually working. Put a keen ear on what it might be doing to the groove of the performance vs. the improvement in overall phase. Be careful.

Always here to help! Hahaha!

Chris - thank you so much for this very kind response. It makes it all worth while. 😉

Hey that's awesome thanks! RE: Petty etc. yeah, check out my playlists for daily blogs on the MudCrutch tour and the 2017 Tom Petty Tour. Prolly some good info in there --

Yes indeed. That was the last time I interacted with him.

A mono matrix carry’s the pink noise from a channel as a reference, a second mono matrix carries the LR bus as the measure.

Thanks so much for the kind complement!

Thank you!

Thank you Derek --

@@RobertScovill The pleasure is all mine. I think you really have to drill it home to people, especially people at my level (clubs etc), that they simply cannot go thinking they can Parallel process especially on entry level digital desks that don't have their busses phased aligned. I've seen it tried so often (guilty).

@@derekrushe yeah I hear ya. You CAN do it on the smaller consoles, it just eats up a lot of resources to do it and a lot of time ends up not being worth it.
