EURODESK MX3282A
10.4 16-Track Studio Recording
This set-up is for a multipurpose studio capable of recording live bands. The following layout is for a bass &
drum take while other artists also perform guides to give correct feel for the song. Mic channels are used to
record to tape, eight tracks at a time (max.) via the subgroup outputs. Since there are no tape returns to
monitor from tape when input channels are unavailable, you might have to temporarily patch the tape outputs
into other line inputs, e.g. stereo input channels, if you want to audition a take before placing tape tracks onto
their final destination desk channels. We suggest that during playback you audition in mono as listening
to hard-panned kick and snare drum will be irritating. If you are using analogue tape with timecode, leave track
15 free as a guard band. Place timecode on track 16.
