I use Mute Audio on occasions to involve the crowd and it works great but i am not totally satisfied with it and am wondering if it can be improved.
My subtle issue is it is too abrupt on certain songs because you have to be absolutely perfect in you timing to make it sound good, normally a sound engineer would fade down very quickly to create an impression that it is an on purpose effect not a sudden glitch in audio if not introduced perfectly.
So i am wondering if a quick AUDIO MUTE FADE OUT , FADE IN setting might be beneficial to find that sweet spot that sounds more natural, perhaps 1 to 2 seconds maximum, this most likely .4 of a second. I know .5 second Xfade in MIX sounds really good for most of my songs i just wonder having this in AUDO MUTE would make it better and easier to use.
Any expert suggestions welcome.

    JonathanS hi Jonathan and thanks for the suggestion and yes thats the easy fix unfortunately i have a guitar in hand i am in the middle of the stage singing and performing and i instantly require an audio mute.I am the sound engineer, MC, DJ, and a live performer all at the same time.
    It works at the moment as is, but it could be better if you look at it from a professional sound engineers perspective, but i do understand if it cant be easily done its not a must have and as Peter said its too hard.
    Thanks

        Damir I do all those things and don’t find it difficult as I’m not playing during a muted section anyway. Aren’t you taking your hand away from the guitar to mute the iPad?

            JonathanS no i use 6 switch foot pedal and a 6 switch remote mounted on guitar.
            I have a floor effects pedal everything runs through, my microphone, guitar and ipad all go through this pedal it has stereo outs to pa, i setup my vocals first then bring in my ipad to suit then my guitar, this unit is also a harmonizer that samples my guitar playing and gives great backing harmonies, it also is a full on guitar effects processor that remembers all my guitar effects, the auxilary input is my ST3 which also is used to provide correct vocal harmonies if i dont provide guitar chords, the unit has a briliant vocal pitch correction which is amazing if used sparingly.
            So once all is setup i use remotes to fine tune my ST3 volume, and i have volume control on my guitar, so basically i work around my microphone, if this needs tweaking my foot pedal has a nice little microphone volume knob on the side but this does mean i have to bend down to tweak it, normally this is not an issue, one thing i dont have is a master volume but i can just crank this easily on the speakers themselves. This is my small to medium gig setup, i do introduce a little mixer on the stand when doing larger gigs , and when performing with a sound engineer its as simple as plug in to his mixer from my pedal and tell him not to touch a thing once we have setup levels i take control of fine tuning my mix, he basically controls th
            my main fronthouse volume, i have fronthouse in my foldback so i can fine tune my mix.
            Well now you know how i run, whats your setup?
