Hi all,
I'm struggling with the following problem:
I'm the monitor engineer for a 70-piece symphonic orchestra. For years all musicians have an own three-channel analog mixer with the following features:
Channel one is a direct out of the built-in mic preamp in which their close mic is patched. This way they can adjust the level of their own instrument.
Channel two and three are two channels to which i send two mixes.
Channel two is a mix which contains all instruments in the same section as the musician in question; if the musician plays 1st violin, this mix contains all other string players (violin, viola, cello, dbl bass). NOTE: The musician's own instrument is also present in this mix.
Channel three is a mix of all instruments in different sections as the musician in question (eg the brass and wood players).
This setup works nice, using an analog monitor desk.
Now we want to replace the analog desk by a digital one.
Problem: The mixes sent back to the musicians arrive a couple of milliseconds later than the direct signal of their own mic, due to the A/D and D/A conversion time and processing time in the desk. Total latency is about 3 ms, and remains constant.
Is it possible to build an analog delay to delay the direct out of the musicians to get channel 1 and channel 2, which both contain the same instrument, back in phase?
Thanks in advance,
Rogy
