Mixer Feature Request

Hi Leo! The new mixer feature is going to be really helpful to me. I often have different band configurations. I currently have been using Return Tracks as a way to organize tracks. All lead guitars (for instance) are routed to a return track. If I don’t have a lead guitarist I simply unmute the track. Now, with mixer I can do this here.

I do have a slight concern that has led me to request a feature…. could there be a way to lock mute positions so that there’s no way a playback engineer could possibly mess up the mute state during a show. Maybe you’ve considered this and decided it’s unnecessary. If so, please share your reasoning!

Thanks!

Hey Keith,

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll pass this along!

A good way to approach this for now could be to build a dedicated Canvas for the playback engineer with the controls they actually need during the show, while simply leaving out the Mixer mute controls.

If that’s not an option, you could use an +OSC Track to send mute and unmute commands for the Mixer groups at the start of each song, or even at the start of each section if you want more granular control during the show.

The OSC command for that would be:

/mixer/<group>/mute <true|false>

Let me know if that would work for your use case!
