Abstract

The Public Address (PA) system engineer performs mixing and adjust the sound in order that the live performance is comfortable for the performers and the audience. However, there are many cases where only one PA engineer is assigned and the burden of the PA engineer is very serious in the case of small live music clubs. Therefore, it is required to reduce the burden of PA engineers. In this paper, we propose an intelligent mixing system based on fuzzy control for electric guitar performance to simplify the mixing work of PA engineers and reduce their burden. The fuzzy control with low computational cost is applied to save computational resources and maintain real-time performance in volume control. From the experimental results, we found that the proposed system can automatically adjust the volume of the electric guitar during the performance.
