do not mute microphone while tuning guitar?

[LoudenDeri]

Is there a way to NOT mute the microphone channel while tuning guitar? I usually talk to the audience while tuning.

Check the Tuner Input selection(s) in the Tuner parameters. Make sure Mic is excluded.

I presume your reply refers to the Stadium XL, which has a separate Mic input.  The Stadium doesn't, so I am using Return 1 for a Mic input (the mic is a wireless one using a 1'4" receiver).

It's been annoying me for a while that I can't find a way to mute the guitar when the Tuner is active, but keep the Mic input (ie, Return 1) unmuted.

Any ideas on this, please?

Both the Helix Stadium Floor and XL have a Mic input.

Sorry, my bad! Of course it does - I'm confusing myself (one significant downside of getting older :o(

What I should have said is that I use the Return 1 input, BECAUSE I'm using a (cheap/Amazon) wireless mic, which has a 1/4" receiver. 

I can't find a way to Mute only the guitar when the Tuner is active, in this case - so it does mute the mic as well. Any suggestions for an internal work-around (other than get a wireless XLR mic or even an 1/4" to XLR adaptor). Or maybe it's a feature request to add the ability to mute different inputs

The Tuner should mute only the selected Input(s). Assuming your guitar is connected to the Guitar input set the Tuner input to Guitar, not something like Multi. If the Tuner Input is set to only Guitar, then other inputs such as XLR or Return should not be recognized by the Tuner and hence should not be muted.
