You have three singers. On "Song A," the guitarist sings lead. On "Song B," the keyboardist sings. The sound guy is busy checking his phone. The keyboardist starts singing, but their mic is muted. They scream into the void while the guitarist's mic (which is live) picks up nothing but stage noise.

The Old Way: Frantically waving at the sound booth while trying to play chords.

The Bandfix Way: Song MIDI Settings.

• Auto-Mute: Program Bandfix to send a CC message to your digital mixer.
• Song A: Unmute Channel 1 (Guitar Vocal), Mute Channel 2 (Keys Vocal).
• Song B: Mute Channel 1, Unmute Channel 2.

Pro Tip: This also works great for muting effects (like delay throws) between songs so you don't have trailing echoes when you talk to the crowd.

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.
