Hey all, I'm in self produced two piece prog metal band and the plan, live, is to play to a click with in-ear monitoring, and the axe-fx II controlled via program/control changes via Logic 9 (perhaps cubase or pro tools down the road) through a macbook pro with a few parameters controlled manually using my MFC-101 MKIII and expression pedals. We also need the capability to control our own mix for in-ear/on stage monitoring.
The Gear we have
-FURMAN POWER SUPPLY/CONDITIONER (Older model)
-AXE-FX II
-MFC-101 MK III
-MACBOO PRO (2009 10.8.5 OS)
-AVID M-BOX (Looking at replacing with the new MOTU828X)
-LOGIC Express 9
-MATRIX 1000GTFX for backline Orange 2X12 and/or Orange 4X12
-ORANGE OR100H (Alternate BU PA)
- 2 MACKIE HD1221 (Optional on stage Monitoring or Stereo FRFR backline)
SoO...need to build a small, durable, DEPENDABLE rack.
Again, need help with routing this stuff.
1) POWER
Furman will power everything (correct?).
2) MIDI
Do I need a MIDI Rack 1U like the MOTU MIDI EXPRESS 128 or can I just run the AXE-FX via USB?
Which is more dependable?
3) AXE-FX MIDI
If running axe-fx to MOTU MIDI express 128 via midi cables, how do I route this? What settings on axe-fx
need to be made in the I/O? Will MFC-101 MK III need to be connected via ethernet or FASLINK?
4) MIXING
Again, looking at MOTU 828X RU. I honestly don't know how to use this but I assume it is to control
the mix for inner ear and on stage, route multi-out for click tracks and multi in-ears, send signal to FOH for
our Backing Tracks, and take Axe-Fx signal in for in-ear monitoring.
5) AXE-FX FOH
I assume I need to send a stereo signal to FOH via OUTPUT XLR 1,2 and then another stereo signal to
the MOTU 828X for monitoring, correct? And then using the FX-LOOP to MATRIX PA for my
backline.
6) IN-EAR
I assume i will send separate signals from the MOTU 828X out into the IN-EAR RU's.
Routing this stuff within Logic Express 9 or Pro Tools is a whole other ball game...
I hope that it will be self explanatory as Logic SHOULD recognize the external interfaces and then I can just select the appropriate I/O channels. I already know how to setup Program/Control changes for axe-fx.
ANY, insight and clarification will be GREATLY appreciated bc unfortunately the band members (all two of us) are also the Gear/audio Techs.
