I make home recordings of bands, and I'm now asked to make live recordings at fairs and small stages. I have been successful so far.
I recently bought a Yamaha mixer with the intention of using the channel inserts to feed my Alesis HD recorder. I've been using three Mackies to get enough inserts to record 12 channels. Naturally, this made monitor feeds a nightmare. The inserts in the Mackies was just after the HPF and before the Channel EQ.
Believing this to be a standard, I bought a Yamaha MG32/14FX. At last I was going to have enough inserts to run my Alesis and mix for FOH and at least four monitor channels. I was wrong.
Whatever I needed to fix the sound for the house--especially changes made during a performance--screwed up my recording levels. Then I found out why--The Yamaha places the inserts post Channel EQ.
I had assumed that the inserts were pre EQ. Damn. So, I called for a service manual and am biting the bullet because I am going to modify 24 channels to put the Inserts where I want them.
Has anybody here done this? Does the Behringer SL3242FX-PRO place inserts pre EQ? Although the Behringer is not my first choice and seems to cost half as much as the Yamaha, I'm debating buying one as opposed to modifying the Yamaha. The Behringer is said to be a bit noisy on the AUX SENDS. Oh, well. I feel like I'm pushing rocks up a hill. You can tell the pioneers by the arrows in their asses.
I've managed to make a few surround mixes with my existing equipment that are not bad for a first try. Email me if you want to hear them.
