Change Audio Input for multiple scenes with one click?

[Kyula]

Hey guys

i was running a live show last week with multiple participants.
If we were up to 4 I used a Zoom H6 and everyone had a lav mic.
If we were more than 4 persons I used a Blue Yeti that was hanging from above.

I had multiple scenes, e.g. one with a front camera, one with a top down camera, one with a side camera.
From my understanding I had to integrate the Zoom H6 and the Blue Yeti as own audio source in every scene.
So I had to go through every scene and deactivate the H6 when we were using the BY and visa versa.

That was very time consuming and led to many mistakes when I forgot to switch it in one scene manually.

is there a setting with that I can change the audio source with one click (via stream deck) for each scene?

Thanks!

Is there a reason why you add the mics explicitly to every scene?

2 possible solutions:
1. if you don't add your mics to every scene but instead use the global audio sources in settings->audio, you have every device configured there as source in every scene. You mute/activate these globally.
2. if you have to add your mics to every scene as audio input capture device, add the first source for one given mic in the first scene with the "create new" option and all additional of the same mic with the "add existing" option. These sources all get the same name and are kind of global to every scene they were added to. If you mute them in one scene, they are muted in every scene.

thanks for your reply!
No there is no reason for it, I thought that would be the way to do it
I'll try out your recommendations!

Hey
now I have the problem that I want to have muted scenes (intro or intermission scenes) and some where the mic is active.
with the global solution if always have to activate or deactivate the audio source (so it's the same work as before).
I need a setting in

- some scenes are always muted and there is only music and video is running but no mic audio
- scenes with mic on, in which always there is the same mic on, but
I need to be able to change between Blue Yeti and Zoom H6 with one click

does anybody has an idea?
