This diagram shows an electric guitar connected to an amplifi er modeler, whose balanced line-level
output is connected to the channel 1 line input, a bass guitar connected directly to the channel 2 input
(with the hi-z switch engaged), a condenser microphone on channel 3/4 with phantom power engaged,
a drum machine connected to channel 5/6, and a keyboard connected to channel 7/8. A headphone
amplifi er allows for multiple headphone use.
An effects processor and a digital delay unit each receive a mono input from an aux send (in post
mode), and their stereo outputs connect to their respective stereo return inputs. As an alternative to
hardware units, you can send aux 1 and 2 to your computer by engaging the Aux Send 1-2 to FW 5-6
switch. Then use your DAW's effects plug-ins to add effects. Return them via FireWire to the main mix.
Mackie MR8 powered reference monitors are connected to the left and right control room outputs.
A nice 2 track recorder is connected to the main left and right outputs to record the main mix directly.
A laptop connects to the FireWire port, allowing the 2-channel main mix to be recorded and two
channels to be played back. Individual channels, and aux 1 and aux 2 can also be recorded via
FireWire (a maximum of 8 FireWire outs).
