In fact if I were you - I'd just get an XR-18 and use it as the mixer for your performances - plugging in any physical mics or live sources you need. (but there are cheaper alternatives for 8 outs like the BEHRINGER U-PHORIA UMC1820 mentioned earlier)

So you can definitely get at least 8 separate physical outputs from it (possibly 2 more on the headphone jack) - if you wanted to use it just as a straight multi output box. As well as the 2 Main XLRS (and also a Headphone jack) There are 18 inputs and outputs you can choose to send to and from iPad via USB. If it is a class-compliant USB audio interface, as many physical outs present on the device will show up as available outputs in AUM or Audiobus. I can’t get it to work yet with iOS.but i plan on trouble shooting things this said: I have a Soundcraft Signature 12MTK, and it’s supposed to offer USB Returns from macOS. Well, if you find one that will work with iOS let us know. I will have to research it a bit moreĬool. This new project has no guitarists or bassists, just keyboards, electronic percussion, and vocals. I often just had to favor the keys in the mix. The Hi Hat loops had to be up front in the mix to work with the drums live and they would cause issues with sound men and then drummer who wanted the keyboards and click but no loops in the headphones.

I started to add Hi Hat loops and Samples, pre-mixing became more difficult to be able to fit in all situations. I was only running keys and backing vocals on that track. In the past with a full band, I was using an iPod then iPad with the click coming from the right and the backing tracks pre-mixed coming from the left of the stereo output. The front of house mixer then has control of each backing track to be able to adjust for the venue, and the musicians on stage can have in ear monitor mixes including the click. Yes, separate audio outs to run to front of house and the monitor mixer.
