I have been looking at the various rack mounted digital mixers from a few manufacturers, mainly Presonus, Mackie and Behringer.
I'm a long time Presonus user but I was curious about the Mackie DL32 rackmount mixer (I need in excess of 24 inputs and 10 Auxes) as I know the DL1608 gets a lot of love hear but I was looking at models. It looks cool and I see that they finally included the possibility of linking AUX channels for stereo IEM mixes (I am a big fan of stereo IEM mixing as opposed to mono, particularly in a multi instrumentalist band). I was disappointed to find out that any panning changes made to one Stereo linked pair of Auxes is applied to all other stereo linked aux pairs, meaning that all musicians have to have the same panning of all the instruments.
To give an example, if I (as the bass player) would like to pan the two guitar in the band hard left and hard right in the stereo mix, the guitarists would hear themselves panned to one side in their own personal mixes also.
Have you heard of a fix for this?
