Hey, we are a church tech team that has functioned every week over the past several years with a FOH sound tech and a BROADCAST sound tech. We're running into some availability issues where we're considering prioritizing FOH on tight scheduling weeks and using the FOH mix for broadcast. However, we don't want to use send the stereo feed as it is inconsistent. Anyone have some advice on what we're thinking to have some simple control, but doesn't necessarily need a dedicated broadcast sound operator:
Current: foh console + broadcast console, broadcast console utilizes a combination of gain shared inputs from the FOH console + dante inputs.
Option 1: send stereo feed of FOH mix to broadcast console
This is not exactly desired because we have no control of mix, acoustic guitar for example comes in very strong, vocals inconsistent, mid-range low, etc
Option 2: send post fader buses/groupings of band, vocals, speaking, media
The problem here is that there is a desire from leaders to continue use pitch correction on the vocals.
Option 3 (desired): send more post fader buses AND individual channels of drums, band, vox1, vox2, vox3, vox4, vox5, vocal effects, speaking, room mics, media
The idea here would be to send each of the vocal mics post-fader individually then group them at the broadcast console. The hope would be to route each of those vocal mics through our Waves Soundgrid pitch correction, but still manage the whole vocal group to sit in the mix even if we set it and forget it.
I am seeking any guidance and redflags, things to think about, etc. Thank you!
