The Vocal Handoff: Muting the Wrong Mic Automatically
· One min read
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.
