• Step 6 — Everyone is back in their seats enjoying the second act, so all you need to do at this point
is return to the overview. All channels are in view simultaneously, so chill here unless you see some
spiking meters or hear something that doesn’t sound quite right to you. You can head straight to
the problem immediately and make the necessary adjustments. Congrats!
There are plenty of other situations where the matrix may come in handy. For example, envision a band
playing at an intimate venue. There may not be much of a need to mic anything other than kick and vocals.
The rest of the kit, bass and guitars are loud enough on their own; they don’t need to be added to the PA.
Having said that, there could be a need for the sound of those instruments to be delivered elsewhere.
Maybe the PA is too loud for someone with sensitive ears. They could enjoy a crisp, clean representation
of the show in the lobby. Another matrix could be set up in the green room so the headlining band can
listen to the support act while stretching and warming up backstage.
In scenarios like these, it might be best to assign these channels to subgroups and unassign them from
the main L/R. The subs may be specically set up to send to the matrix. Simply raise the subgroup faders
followed by raising the matrix faders to the desired levels. This might be explained as “matrix 5 and 6 sends
from subgroups 5 and 6”.
The Matrix...if you haven’t seen the movie yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. The DL32R matrix.
If you haven’t set one up yet, do yourself a favor and line it up!
