steverubble Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Hey all. So my band has been using the Stagescape for some time now for live gigs, what I would like to do after a soundcheck is to mute the main outs to the PA, but leave the monitors active. We don't use any backline just a Helix and a Axe FXII straight into the desk, so it would be nice to still have the monitors active without anything coming out of the PA. Just wondering if this is achievable? Not really sure why there is not a mute icon next to the onscreen slider. Cheers all :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Yeah - I've also wished for a Mute button on the Main Outs for the same reason. The workaround I've used is to physically disconnect the Main Out cables, or turn off the Main speakers themselves when desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steverubble Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 That solution also seems the only way to me, which is astounding for such a complex piece of kit, there must be another way lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 If there's an ability to do this in the firmware I haven't found it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steverubble Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 It seems to me to be a fairly useable feature to have. Not tried it yet but can each fader be muted yet leave the monitors on? that might be a workaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steverubble Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 Something else has just occurred to me, I don't use scenes but I could set up a scene with all the faders down to the main outs but leaving the channel active to the monitors? I think this might work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northumbrian Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I came to the forum looking for the answer to this exact question. I thought I was being dumb in not being able to find something which must *obviously* exist in kit so beautifully designed... Option 1: Powering down speakers is extremely clumsy and awkward, to achieve something so simple. Option 2: Disconnecting main outs doesn't work when my speakers are all connected via L6link So, @steverubble did your idea of creating said Scene do the job? Like you I don't use them (yet) and am looking forward to seeing up my pa too test your idea. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
