VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Hey all. I now a lot of us are using the Mackie 1202-VLZ or something similar. I was personally annoyed by having to have my slider up when I sent audio out of Aux 2, so I did a bit of research and there is a mod to make Aux 2 PRE fader (no more turning the fader up to send audio out). This mod is actually mackie approved (the method is listed in the manual!).

I'm going to do a blog post with pics on how to do it, but for now I just wanted to let everyone know that it is very possible (easy in fact), and makes the VLZ and even MORE functional tool for us VOs.

... this would be interesting. I can certainly see a good use for it. I'm wondering how easy it would be to modify the mod to route it via a small toggle switch mounted on the front panel to make it pre/post like Aux 1.

I'm probably over-thinking it Smile

Just curious in what use scenario would that be helpful for you?
It's probably just a jumper that could be wired to a switch!

Well if you set up the Aux sends to feed your interface for recording, and your output back to a client on phone patch, and then have the mains feeding your monitors, I want the ability to send my mic to the interface and client simultaneously without sending it to my cans. I just like the option of that 3 truly independent outputs from the board, rather than one output being dependent upon the use of another output.
