I'm a keyboard player with two boards I typically patch out to DI boxes at venues. I've been using on-stage amps but want to move to in-ear monitors.
The challenge I want to solve is getting the venue's board mix into something I can control on stage that goes into IEMs.
Looking at the Behringer 2/2 mixers, they, unfortunately, can't post to both buses
I was hopeful of doing something like this here:
- Line 1: Monitor feed from the venue's board
- Line 2: Keyboard 1 (mono)
- Line 3: Keyboard 2 (L)
- Line 4: Keyboard 2 (R)
Then on the bus side:
- Line 1 + Line 2 + Line 3 + Line 4 ⇾ IEM
- Line 2 + Line 3 + Line 4 ⇾ Main
The Main bus would go out to the DI boxes.
Unfortunately, the Behringer box is 'one bus or the other'; if you split to the alt bus, it's muted in the mains.
Is there a way to achieve something like this or better? If I can find a mixer that can allow me to not feed the board back to itself and support the IEMs, I'd be in good shape!
Thanks for your advice.
