Hi guys,
For my teaching business I want to use my Axe-Fx. I know my students are going to love this baby. Let me get started.
Requirements
- 5 to 6 guitars plugged-in simultaneous
- Each channel needs to have a direct-out so I can send each student to a different speaker (this isn't really relevant right now, but it will be in the near future).
If I purchase something like a Soundcraft M8, will I be able to pull this off? Don't I need a DI-box to turn Hi-Z levels into line-levels? I'd use the rear input of the Axe-Fx as the input because it accepts line-levels. I'm not sure if this is possible, but it would be seriously killer if I can use a 2-guitar patch as follows. Two or 3 students could play clean while the others play lead. Will this be possible if I route the first output to the first returns and the second output to the second returns? My thoughts tell me that I can control rhythm / lead with just the Aux 1 & 2 levels.
Full Aux 1 = Rhythm
Full Aux 2 = Lead
Does this make sense? I'm not too familiar with all this mixer stuff so any help is greatly appreciated!
