When we want more control over where the sound goes from our digital mixer we use the matrix section. In this video, I'll show you 2 ways to use the matrix section of your mixer: to separate subs and tops and to set up delayed speakers.

A great explanation there my lovely...
Personally though...
I prefer to use an Aux send post fade, with only the channels (at 0 dB) , that I want to send to the subs... going to that Sub Aux.
I'm only saying this because more and more frequently now, when walking up to a desk somebody has got a Left/Right and a Sub matrix thing going on... and they seem to always have the Sub Source as a copy of the Masters... Which really, really annoys me... I mean who on Earth wants all the waffle from everything i.e.; the top kit, Horn Sections, Choirs, effects and the main Vocal mic bleeding into the Sub Speakers.
I haven't scientifically analysed it, and it could just be from an expected psychoacoustic thing...
but I do think the Aux method just sounds more "how I want it to sound", as in more musically pleasing.
That said... I like your presentation style...
Oh, and, drink your Tea before it gets cold 💋🚀

hi Andrew I wish you can make a video of matrix with the midas pro1 thanks Im just learning my idas pro1

[@kentproctor8027]

Excellent description to help someone understand the concept. Have you worked with a Soundcraft UI24R yet? I didn't see that one listed in the link.

[@OffshoreAudio]

Thanks! I've used it a bunch but I'm unlikely to make any videos or content about it. Was there anything you were wondering about? I can answer it or point you in the right direction.

[@bassnstoff8621]

thank you .. waiting for more content .....need infos in lacoustics network manager..

[@OffshoreAudio]

Noted. I'm not deploying systems so often just now but next time I'm around some L'acoustics I'll film something

[@johnkasonga6634]

I really love your tutorials. Would you please replicate this MATRIX video for M7CL 48 digital mixer? Much appreciated.

[@OffshoreAudio]

Thanks a bunch. I'm afraid I've never even seen an M7CL, I think they're just not so popular where I am. If I come across one I'll make a video.

[@kwakugyamfi6781]

Can this same set up work on Yamaha TF3?

[@OffshoreAudio]

Yeah it should work basically the same. Tf series also has a dedicated sub bus that you can use.

[@kingsleymatthew6206]

Great video. Does this work when you have a sub channel

[@OffshoreAudio]

Thanks. I'm not sure what you mean? I show it with a SUB and Mains setup in the video. Or did you mean something else?
