Owner's Manual 9
This diagram shows studio mics connected to the channel 3 and 4 mic inputs and a keyboard
connected to the channel 6 and 7 line inputs. This allows for overdubs when necessary. A CD player
connects to the tape input for referencing pre-recorded material.
Compressors are connected to inserts 3 and 4 for your vocals. An additional stereo compressor is
connected to the main inserts.
Mackie HR824mk2 powered reference monitors are used for your control room listening. The
engineer's headphones are used to monitor levels.
In this example, aux 1 feeds the input of a digital reverb, whose processed stereo outputs enter the aux
1 returns. Auxes 2 and 3 feed the inputs of multi-FX processors, whose stereo outputs enter the aux 2
and 3 returns. Auxes 1-3 may be added to the main mix by adjusting the master return knob for auxes
1-3. Auxes 5 and 6 feed separate headphone amplifi ers, there for any possible overdubbing that may be
necessary.
A desktop computer connects to a FireWire port, allowing 16 channels of playback from the audio
production software. Mixer channels 1-16 can play all 16 channel signals from your computer if the FW
1-16 switches at the top of the 1-16 channel strip are engaged. Buses can be used to submix and then
bounce to the DAW. The master output can then be sent to the fi nal destination (tape and/or FireWire
- simultaneously, if needed).
