Be Your Own Sound Guy: Automating Reverb and Delay Changes

You're a solo acoustic act. You want a dry, intimate vocal sound for your folk songs, but a massive, washed-out reverb for your cover of "Wicked Game." You don't have a sound guy. You're stuck with one static vocal sound for the whole night.

The Old Way: Reaching over to your mixer between songs to twist knobs, hoping you don't accidentally cause feedback.

The Bandfix Way: Song MIDI Settings.

  1. Connect Bandfix to your digital mixer (like an XR18 or X32).
  2. Set up a MIDI command to increase the Reverb Send level for specific songs.
  3. Set another command to bring it back down for the next track.

Pro Tip: You can also automate your Monitor Mix volume if you need to hear yourself louder on quiet songs.

Sound like a pro production, even when you're alone on stage. Download Bandfix
