An iPod
TM
docking station is connected to the line-level inputs of channels 3 and
4, so you can play to a pre-recorded backing track, or play music during the breaks
caused by drinking too many free lattés. You may need two 1/4" to RCA adapters to
make these connections.
The tape outputs are connected to the line-level stereo inputs of a laptop's sound
card. This allows you to record the entire performance with Tracktion software.
The mic and guitar are panned mono, so the same mix is coming out of the main
left and right outputs, and each can be used for a monitor or a front-of-house loud-
speaker as follows:
The left main mix output connects to an SRM150 powered personal monitor. This is
pointed at the performer (the fabulous you).
The right main mix output feeds the input of an SRM350 powered loudspeaker
playing to your appreciative, jittery, hepped-up-on-the-bean audience. Jump quickly
from one song to another, and keep the poetry about the Washington State Rain
Festival (Jan 1st–Dec 31st) to a minimum.
