Post-Production System
This diagram shows a voice-over microphone connected to channel 1 mic input, a video deck's audio
output connected to channels 3/4, with its audio inputs receiving the main mix from the 1/4" outputs.
A synthesizer is connected to channel 5/6, and an electronic drum kit connected to channel 7/8.
An effects processor and a sampler each receive a mono input from an aux send (post-fader), and
their stereo outputs connect to the respective stereo return inputs. A keyboard controller is attached to the
sampler. Headphones are used to monitor all levels, using a headphone amp with multiple headphones,
including one in the voice-over booth.
A pair of Mackie HR824mkII powered reference monitors is connected to the left and right control room
outputs for careful and accurate monitoring in the control room.
A desktop Mac or PC is connected to a FireWire port, allowing the 2-channel main mix to be recorded
and two channels to be played back. Two cinema screens are connected to the desktop, one displaying
audio and the second for video. A RAID rack is attached to the computer for mass storage. A recorder is
connected to the main outs, and utilized as the master recorder.
