T he myMixCONTROL is a tool for engineers working with larger myMix systems, or the system integrator to set-up dedicated myMix systems that require special settings and function locking. The myMix CONTROL software is a web browser interface located on the myMix PLUG computer. It can be accessed from any device that runs a web browser through a Wi-Fi or LAN connection. The myMix PLUG hosts web server, transfers the data between the computer/tablet and the myMix devices and has local memory to save complete projects and other data.

If you like to get more information check out the introduction video for myMix Control or the webinar myMix Control.

myMix CONTROL completes the system by giving the engineer the capability to back up a whole system, configure and edit individual units, or lock specific functions through any device that accesses the network wired or wireless.

The myMix personal monitor mixing system has convinced thousands of musicians and sound engineers that they do not need to make compromises anymore with their sound. From small to large stages in concert venues or HoW, in studios, rehearsal rooms, music schools and theaters, myMix helps anywhere music is made. The sound quality and the easy to use, intuitive user interface to control one’s own monitor mix is what our users love most – along with the multi-track recording and playback capability.

The channels in a myMix system can be named as wished. Mixing gets as simple as selecting the instrument or vocal mic, pressing the button and adjusting: volume, tweaking the tone, adding stereo eects and
pan control for a 3-D sound image. Changes get automatically stored in the current prole or a mix can be shared with others, as well as
many other features.

Features

Mix Editor

The myMix Control can show all myMix devices in the current project. The page is showing the status (online/offline) and name of every unit, it allows to copy profiles from single units and mutes them. It finally can open all units for remote editing. The page refreshes the data automatically from the network when opened.

Profile Editor

While not visible on the myMix device itself – each profile stores up to 128 channels it sees on the network. In the editor, channels can be selected and deleted.

myMix Project Editor

The myMix project editor is a tool that lets you exchange the MAC address of myMix devices incl. IEX16 input expanders in existing project files.

Why would you need the Project Editor?

The entire myMix system is fully decentralized and dynamic. Every audio channel contains a device label and the channel label you provided – however under the hood, the data used to make unique connections is based on the MAC address of each device.
The settings data for each myMix is saved automatically, and the data you save as a project on myMix Control uses MAC addresses as a unique identifier.

If you changed a piece of hardware that is sending audio channels to the myMix network – for instance, exchanging the IEX-16 input expander – these 16 input channels would show up as “new channels” to all myMix units in the system. Input channel names and assignments were not transferred to the new unit, because the project file keeps this data linked to the original unit’s MAC address.

The myMix Project Editor allows you to open a myMix project that you stored on a USB or hard disk, change the MAC address to match your new hardware and save it. Once you load that edited project to your myMix Control, all myMix devices will now “see” the new channels with the same settings as stored before.

myMix helps Appalachian State University Hayes School of Music Students Prepare for Real-World Recording Applications

November 14, 2019

When Scott Wynne first saw a myMix unit in use at a Florida church during a holiday church service in December 2012, he immediately saw how myMix would be a useful tool for teaching his students.

As the director for the Gilley Recording Studio and Professor of the Music Industry Studies degree with a concentration in Recording and Production at the Mariam Cannon Hayes School of Music at Appalachian State University, many of Wynne’s students who come into his program with a background in performance don’t necessarily have much — if any — recording experience in a commercial studio environment.

After purchasing a myMix unit for the University’s recording facility and testing it out himself, he discovered that not only was the myMix more flexible than standard mixing cue systems he’d been using for instruction – but they also provided WiFi accessibility, built in FX processors, and the ability to label channels and store the information in multiple units simultaneously, ultimately saving time and effort and enabling him to better prepare students for real-world professional recording studio environments after graduation.

The myMix unit was the perfect opposite of the system that everyone in studio programs usually knows. They are way more flexible and help my students, who need to learn that, when they graduate, they will be dealing with a cue system that can be configured in any way they might need.
And now, using the myMix, I can test them on some of those more advanced applications.

Increased Flexibility for Advanced Recording Applications

After purchasing his first myMix in the summer of 2013, Wynne began a longterm upgrade to the University’s Gilley Recording Studio, which houses four control rooms and three live room spaces, as well as a lab.

Now, with five myMix units available for musicians to use, plus two more units with two IEX 16-Ls in each control room, Wynne can operate one of the live rooms with both an A studio session and a B studio session going on at the same time.

This gives us more flexibility for routing to the different units,” he said. “But we also wanted to have the ability to double check how the students set up their myMix units. So, we put one unit in each of the rooms on one of the shelves so they can double check their own routing is correct before they push it out to the rest of the controllers.

The additional flexibility also made it possible to use one of the myMixes in a unique way: as an FX-send unit that takes advantage of the natural reverberation in a space that students refer to as “the echo chamber” between all the practice rooms.

“It’s sort of a negative space on the fourth floor that nobody designed a functionality for,” Wynne explained. “It’s just concrete, brick and glass, and it has a really nice reverb; so, we use one of the myMix units to send signal out to the speakers there, and then use the myMixes with the microphone preamps to bring the signal back into the console in the control room.”

Features for Additional Ease-of-Use

WiFi accessibility and built-in FX processors were some additional features that convinced Wynne to upgrade Appalachian State University’s studio with myMix, not only because they made it easier for his students to record themselves, but also because they helped save a significant amount of time and effort.

“With WiFi accessibility, we have a myMix unit in the middle of the studio area. And the students can log into it with their laptops and are able to use the WebGUI to change the names for their own unit,” Wynne said. “Or, if somebody is having a problem with the cue system, they can check on it quickly without having to go into the live room.

“There are product lines out there where, once you have a mix set up on the patch bay, you have to go over and tape up the unit and scribble on it to tell the performers what’s on every channel. If you have six or seven of those, you lose about 30 minutes just scribbling down what’s on each channel. The myMix eliminates that problem, and they can get sessions up and running faster.”

The built-in FX processors have also helped Wynne save time in the studio.

A lot of times when you’re getting set up for student recording sessions, the vocalist might want reverb, but the engineer is maybe not at a level yet where they can do that quickly enough so that the session is not impeded. The myMix allowed the vocalist the opportunity to quickly dial in a hall reverb, for example. This lets the musicians hear reverberation in their headphones without actually needing to have that routed up on the console and have signals led back to the headphone sets.

myMix Live Sound Testimonial

After three world tours, the myMix system is still working perfectly.
I wouldn’t tour with any other system.

Don Moen

I’ve used virtually every in ear monitoring system available on my tours for the past 15 years and was pleasantly surprised when I used myMix for the first time.

myMix is durable, (surviving grueling world tours) very user friendly, sonically amazing (my band would all agree) and best of all … it’s affordable!

Before you make a decision to purchase an in ear monitoring system, you owe it to yourself to check out myMix. I had already decided to invest in another well known system and was skeptical when my sound engineer suggested I try myMix.

After trying it at a rehearsal (and being prepared to hate it!) I fell in love with the simplicity and the sound of the myMix system. My band (also a bunch of skeptics) felt the same way.

When I saw the price tag, it took me about 30 seconds to make the decision to purchase the myMix system! After three world tours, the myMix system is still working perfectly. I wouldn’t tour with any other system.

Soweto Gospel Choir – Story from Headliner Magazine

Soweto Gospel Choir – Story from Headliner Magazine

From Headliner Magazine, Issue 2: A HOLY ELECTIC MIX

Not many choirs are double Grammy Award winners, have sung alongside U2, and performed at a FIFA world cup event …

But the Soweto Gospel Choir is no ordinary choir. This multi-talented 24-piece has been entertaining audiences across the globe since 2007 with its dulcet tones under the direction of co-founder Beverly Bryer.

Carefully selected from churches in their namesake town, the Soweto Gospel Choir is out on the road between six and nine months each year. For the current US leg, and upcoming Australian stint, FOH engineer, Helge Schlosser, steps into the fray … With some cool new kit.

“On this show, it’s paramount to get the balance of the choir right. It has to sound big, so I use condensers in stereo pairs to create a bit of space and depth to the sound, but the problem we have always faced is feedback, because the stage is so loud,” explains Schlosser, whose role prior to the tour was house engineer at the Johannesburg Civic Theater. “To remedy this, I opted to bring in a myMix [personal monitoring] system, which has saved me a lot of hassle, and has allowed me to get rid of some of the wedges and all of the backline.” Schlosser’s monitor mix count is now down to 10, thanks to his deployment of four myMix units. “Four of the choir members are also band members, and for the non-a cappella numbers, they head behind the rest of the choir, pick up their respective instruments, and play, now using a myMix each to monitor themselves,” he continues.

“Beforehand, each band member had their own backline and wedge, and there were also wedges across the front for the choir and any soloists, but because I can DI analogue into the myMix, it’s changed everything; and furthermore, the ambient noise on stage has been reduced to an absolute minimum, so the feedback has gone. ”

It’s pretty much as good as it gets now, and the clarity of the choir has dramatically improved, which is great, as it’s what the show is all about.

To summarize, Schlosser runs analogue out of his desk into the inputs of his myMix IEX-16L-A Input Expander, then he runs one Cat-5 cable to a network switch (housed on top of the keyboard player’s sampler). From there, audio travels over Ethernet into his five myMix units. “I have four units for the band and one spare, in case one should go down – but that’s never happened,” he says.

“It’s proven to be a very reliable and flexible solution – a bit of a game-changer, in fact. The real beauty of my-Mix is that I just give them a static level, and they can then adjust their own mixes, creating profiles for various songs along the way. I now have no issues whatsoever with band monitoring, and workflow has vastly improved.”

It took some time for the choir to get used to a quieter band playing behind them, but Schlosser overcame that by rearranging the remaining wedges, and tweaking the choir’s monitoring of the band.

“Because there’s 24 of them, and 20 singing to the band, there is no way I can put 25 myMixes on the choir, but we did manage to get the overall vocal mix spot-on,” he smiles. “There’s a lot of low end in there, and because African culture is a loud culture, it’s still pretty loud on stage; the difference is, I can control that now, as opposed to a musician just grabbing his guitar amp and turning up, which is always a nightmare!

“Productions are always wanting to cut costs where possible, so the fact we can tour such a high-end product in such a small package has proved very, very useful. It’s made myMix the perfect touring system for us.”

Church Production Magazine:
myMix Review by Nolan Rossi

I believe the value of the myMix system is greater than any other personal monitor mixing system I’ve used … It’s much more than just a personal monitor mixing system.

Nolan Rossi

Most churches don’t have the luxury of a monitor engineer. When personal mixing products first entered the marketplace it was a valuable solution for houses of worship that wanted to free their front-of-house (FOH) engineer from running monitors from far away. I still spend a fair amount of time as a monitor engineer, so I’m the first to defend that role and say that personal mixing products can’t do what a monitor engineer can.

However, even though there are a growing number of personal mixing systems on the market, there is still an opportunity for an improved experience in personal mixing. Most of the personal monitor mixing products on the market offer “affordable” solutions. As a result, they don’t offer the fidelity and construction quality of what I consider a “professional” product. MyMix personal mixing products stand out because through their feature set – it’s much more than just a personal monitor mixing system – construction, and fidelity efforts they seek to be a professional solution for personal mixing.

The components of myMix are simple. The myMix personal mixer is a small mic-stand-mountable device with a high quality color LED screen, six buttons, and one backlit knob right below the screen to get you through the internal menus. Each myMix unit uses an external power supply, or can be powered by the switch via power-over-Ethernet (POE). There are two XLR inputs on the side of myMix with input gain control for each input and switchable phantom power. There are two ¼-inch balanced outputs on the back, as well as a headphone output. There is also an SD card reader on the side. (More on that later.)

To take the myMix system further, you’ll use the IEX–16l, which is a 16-channel interface capable of accepting DB–25 (“D-Sub”) line inputs as well as ADAT inputs. MADI, Dante and USB options all exist to route audio signals into the myMix network.
