Don't Mute the Control Room

201 Audio Yamaha

Description

When working in live settings, maintaining a consistent vocal feed for the lyrics operator during rehearsals, especially when vocals are turned off or soloed for adjustments is a common challenge. Your solution could be creating a dedicated matrix feed that ensures the vocals are always audible to the lyrics operator, regardless of the adjustments you make for the main mix; Lee Fields walks you through how to do just that on the Yamaha PM series of consoles.

Key Points:

Maintaining the consistent vocal feed is incredibly important, especially in venues without a dedicated broadcast mix.
Lee walks through how to set up a mono aux mix specifically for lyrics, ensuring that vocals are always on regardless of the main mix adjustments.
The important thing to remember is that you ensure the mono aux has the right pickoff points (post-dynamics, pre-fader).
Lee shows how to set up a matrix specifically for the lyrics feed, including how to send the output of this feed to the necessary location - in this case, the video room.
