USB output FROM the mixer - recording, etc:
In the USB OUT section you may select either the
main mix (disengaged) or subgroups 1-2 (engaged)
from the conveniently titled USB OUT switch [49]. The
USB tap points for the subgroups are pre-fader and
signals will show up on the DAW dependent upon how
they are panned on the channels.
In other words, if subgroups 1 and 2 are used to sub-
mix drums and those drums have a stereo image
(e.g. overheads and toms pan according to desire), this
stereo image is retained in the DAW inputs (assuming
subgroup 1 is set to “L” and subgroup 2 is set to “R”).
Any adjustments made to the subgroup drum levels
during the show only pertain to the live show itself;
recording levels are not adjusted in the DAW unless they
are adjusted on the channels.
Likewise, it is possible to record the main mix to take
home a copy of the live show. These levels are also
pre-main fader. Therefore, levels may be mixed up or
down in the DAW later depending on the needs of the
recording versus the live show. The end result is that
fade-ins and/or fade-outs made during the show do not
affect recorded levels.
4. RUNNING MAN LOGO
TheRunningManlogohasbeenapointofcontroversy
since its inception.
ThehistoryoftheRunningManisrathervague;nor
do we know what he is running from...or towards? Or
perhaps the man is running sound and not actually
running to or from anything or anyone. Here is what we
do know:
Origins:
It originated in the early '90s when founder Greg
Mackiedecidedthatalogowasjustas(ifnotmoreso)
important than just the name. He stated that, “brands
are not recognized by name alone, but by their
accompanying logo...take a look at the logos of
McDonald's
®
, Nike
®
,Microsoft
®
and Apple
®
. You can
recognize those brands based on the logo alone.”
He quickly assembled a team to design what would
eventuallybecometheRunningManlogo.Herearea
few early examples that were eventually rejected:
Then, in the early 2000s, the graphic designers
decidedtogivetheRunningManlogosomecolor,
basically adding a theme to “spice it up”. This idea
didn't take off, so it was eventually shelved.
Current status, the future and beyond:
The current status is easy; it's as you see it today on

clubs to the biggest sized arenas, mid-sized theatres,
houses of worship, casinos and more!
