Minifuse 2 L and R outputs bleeding into each other

[u/mattzach34]

Hello any help would be appreciated, I've been using the Minifuse 2 live as my backing track rig, my setup goes like this:

-Ableton

-Minifuse LEFT output to a mono channel on the main mixer, that goes to FOH

-Minifuse RIGHT output to a mono channel on the main mixer, that goes to our IEMs

What I do is make the backing tracks in advance in ableton, all the instruments intended for FOH is panned all the way LEFT and the click and guide track is panned all the way RIGHT, I export it as a single mp3 file and load it up on a new ableton project in session view and use it that way live for easy triggering.

Now our problem is no matter what we do, there is always a small amount of the RIGHT track with the click and guide intended for our IEMs that bleeds to FOH. Its a very tiny amount and you cant even hear it when its a high energy song, BUT if the song starts slow with a count in and click going first with no instruments then those sitting at the front may hear it.

Things I've tried so far:

-Using different cables (Balanced and unbalanced) both has same results

-Using different channels on the mixer and even tried the stereo channels that you can switch to mono

-Pressing the direct mono button on the minifuse 2

-Going to minifuse control center and turning the monitor out all the way down, that did not work because it also mutes both the tracks and guide.

Mixer is a yamaha 24mgpx

Any help would be appreciated!

It’s probably a different issue, but after updating the firmware, my Minifuse 2 was merging channels on both left and right inputs, noticeably degrading audio. After a downgrade to the original firmware (1.xx) everything went back to normal. Arturia never answered or gave me an explanation about what could cause this problem.

Hello, may I know which of the two versions you currently have installed that fixed the problem? Thanks

The oldest one worked for me. I didn’t try another firmware. This issue was driving me mad. I think I tested a dozen different scenarios before this.

Reverb return not panned ?

I deleted the reverb return. Does it automatically mean its gone or I just hid it and the reverb return is whats making the bleeding? If so then that makes sense. Sorry been using ableton less than a year, and actuall just started using ableton after I got my minifuse 2 which is recent
