ProppFrexx ONAIR User-Forum

Hello!
I hope I can explain this problem in english so that you understand.

I use a LaunchControl XL to operate all the main features in ProppFrexx including faders to control the input and output channels (mic, players, cartwall etc). Since I use the fader for the mic control I don't use the TalkOver feature. This works very very good but the problem is when it comes to VoiceTracking while broadcasting other content. I have found out that if I mute the input channel it is possible to voicetrack but I won't hear my own voice while doing it, but it's not a supergood solution, so what I wonder is if it is possible in any way to activate the input channel for mic without using the fader and so to say activate it onair? I mean something like sending a pre-fade signal from the input directly to the voicetrack module or so?

Thanks Bernd!
I just needed a bit of help thinking. Now I have added control commands to Voicetrack.open and closed to activate mute and send.
Thanks alot!

A real Pre-Fade signal is unfortunately technically not possible, as there is effectively no pre-fade signal actually available.
The fader of an input mixer directly controls the recording volume of the related input device - as such, there is no pre-fading signal ever available; but only the recorded signal itself - which is by nature post Fading.

The trick with the input mixer channels is actually to use the 'M' button (mute) instead of the fader. Even if an input mixer channel is muted, you can use the SND function to PFL it's signal in a routed mixer output channel.

To be fully sure, I would need to know how you have configured your mixer Setup; especially your MIC mixer input channel Setup.

However, I guess you just need to change your mixer input channel configuration; check what you have defined for the "Mute/unmute" option?!
The default is "Mute/Unmute Output" - so you might want to change that to "Mute/Unmute Output Only"!

Here are the option (lick on the '?' icon in the Input Device Configuration dialog to see them):
Input: mutes/unmutes the input audio signal. When muted any recording, streaming and output/SND routing will be muted as well.
Output: mutes/unmutes any routed output audio signal incl. any SND signal. When muted any recording and streaming will still process the input audio signal.
External: Like 'Input', but the external input device will be muted/unmuted as well (not available for the ASIO driver model).
Output Only: Like 'Output', but any SND audio signal will not be affected.

So if you select the "Mute/Unmute Output Only" the MIC itself is no heard anymore, but the SND is still working (for PFL).
