Splitting voice and tracks?

I'm using two systems and my Tonematch with just a mic on CH 1 and laptop tracks with USB on CH 4/5. Can I somehow send the mic to one system and send just the tracks to the other? Hopefully this is not too dumb of a question as it would be nice to have complete vocal and music separation.... thanks in advance for all and any help/advice!

You would simply pan vocals to the left and your tracks to the right.

Is your ToneMatch a T1 or a T4/T8S?

Yes, you can do that.

Hi, zatoichi.

Long time, no see.

Unless you've gotten a new ToneMatch mixer, you probably have a T1.

You can set up the microphone into T1 Channel 1 as usual. Connect the T1 to the first L1 as you normally do with the ToneMatch port and ToneMatch cable.

For the tracks routed through USB to Channel 4/5, set up an Aux send with Tap Point set to PRE with EQ and FX. Then you can Mute Channel 4/5 and the sound will go only to the Aux output.

You can read about that here

T1 ToneMatch® Audio Engine Aux Output
--?8T? Please click the picture for more details ?T8?--    

Now you can connect the T1 Aux output (yellow box above) to the second L1.

The downside to this approach is the T1 Channel 4 volume control won't affect the volume of the tracks. You can still control the volume by

  • Using the volume control on the computer or the application you are using to play the tracks
    OR
  • Turn the Rotary Selector to Aux, Press the CH EDIT button for Channel 4/5 and change the level.


Does that help?

 I'm sorry I didn't realize the T1 only had one master out in one of auxiliary. I guess I should have asked that question. I have T8

Which has 2 quarter and two Canon right and left outputs. 

No worries and thanks for the response!
