Routing advice for showcase

[Jimbles_81]

I’m trying to set up my stadium xl to take on the backing tracks for our band. Up until now it’s all been an iPad into an audio interface into our mixer. We use our own mixer with IEMs and then send a snake to FOH.

I need 5 outputs.

2 for stereo guitar

2 separate for backing tracks

1 for our click track.

Click is just for the band so that needs to be separate. As do the individual backing track outputs for mixing FOH.

 

I’m struggling to find a way to get the 5th output as showcase only has 1/4”, xlr, phones and usb.

I thought sends 1 and 2 would be a good way, but that would need to be my guitar as I can’t select them in showcase for the other tracks.

Everything would be line level balanced.

 

Other than that the only way I can see is to use the phones out for the click. But then I’d need a splitter and DI.
 

Any ideas?

You can send the click to the mixer too....

Mix it with the rest of the tracks in the IEM and low the volume on the FOH

Jimbles_81,

 

Are you saying you'd use the XLR out L & R for 2 and 1/4 L & R for 2?  If so then enjalt said it best (and I am expanding) - the headphones out would go to your IEM and you'd use the matrix per output (XLR, 1/4, headphones) to level what you want and what you do not want heard per output.  Forgive me if I am completely misunderstanding your request.

That's not what I said, 

 

I mean , you can send for example Stereo Guitar -> XLR L&R outputs / Backing tracks L&R-> Jack L&R outputs / Click -> Send 1 Output

 

Then send all to the mixer which have Aux outputs I presume.

 

Each Bandmember have his/her own aux dedicated and can make his own mix with what is connected to the mixer.

 

With the mixer you can simply have the click in the Aux Outputs and put the volume to 0 to frontstage
