Huh? First, a post-fader aux means your main channel mute will also mute the aux feed. Setting up a second console for a completely independent stream mixīut streaming is different while we want to set up a different balance of channels, we also want some of what you do in the house mix to tweak that. There are three basic approaches for mixing both in-house and live stream, and we’ll focus on two of them here.

That narrows our options, which, by the way, is the main topic for this post. In our case, we have a very small team and could not realistically foresee having three or four individuals serve each week on AV-related jobs. And finally, do we have the resources (equipment and funds) to follow a more high-end approach? If you only have one or two, however, your options are limited. Which brings up the second question: how many people can we realistic train and have available to run this stuff? A bigger team means we can have multiple job positions each week focused on a variety of tasks. What’s more important, the live feed or in-house? Seems obvious to say “both,” but that takes a level of resources and complication we didn’t have. Long term, while we’re at it, we could continue the remote feed for shuts-ins, people traveling, and others who just want to join in from wherever. But we still wanted to maintain a live stream for those who weren’t comfortable returning.
