3 title: OSC: Personal Monitoring Control
7 Personal monitoring can allow a performer with a smart phone to set
8 their personal monitor mix for a floor wedge or inear monitoring.
12 Some setup needs to be done in the GUI mixer window before this can
17 Create a bus for each performer who will have personal
18 monitoring. A good practice is to name the bus with the
22 Connect the output of that bus to one of the audio
23 interface's playback ports that is not otherwise used. OSC
24 will now include this bus in it's list of aux buses as it
25 no longer has it's output connected to the Master bus.
28 Add an aux send to each channel the performer needs to hear
29 in their personal mix. Many performers only need three or
30 four sources to be mixed. If the performer needs to hear a
31 a set of inputs that are combined into a bus, adding the
32 aux send to that bus may make more sense than adding ten
33 drum channels for example.
36 If the performer wishes to hear effects in their monitor,
37 an extra send from the send bus, placing the performers aux
38 send after the effect or a plugin can be added in line in
43 This gives stage or studio monitoring for the performer.
46 <h3>The OSC commands and feedback for personal monitoring</h3>
48 All of the personal monitoring commands and feedback start with a
49 <em>/cue</em>. It is expected that a surface used as a personal
50 monitor control will use only <em>/cue</em> commands.
53 The send controls and feedback all have the send id (1 to n) in line
54 as part of the OSC path. So the path for the second send would be
55 <em>/cue/send/fader/2</em> to set the level. It is considered that
56 most surfaces used for this will only be able to handle one parameter.

110 While a fader is being adjusted, the corresponding <em>/*/name</em>
111 text will give the level in db.
