11.6.1 Aligning the Backline with Vocal Mic
In this example, we will delay the guitar amp’s close mic to its arrival at the vocal mic.
In general, snare drums and guitar amps are the most common culprits of backline
bleed. Depending on where your vocalist is standing, either one or both could need
to be delayed to compensate for whatever amount of comb filtering is present.
1. To begin, press the Solo edit button.
2. On the Touchscreen, select Solo In Place and Latching Solo mode.
3. Solo the guitar and vocal channels; notice that all other channels are muted.
4. Measure the distance from the guitar cabinet to the vocal mic. Sound travels
at a rate of 1,130 feet per second. This means you need to set 1.1 ms of delay
for every foot of distance. For our example, let’s say the guitar amp is 5 feet
from the vocal mic.
5. Press the guitar channel’s Select button.
6. Press the Input button in the Fat Channel.
