Playback Monitoring
In the studio, performers also need to listen back to tracks they have just
recorded. If each performer is using a different mix while recording,
playback of the track will be different in each set of headphones.
If you can dedicate two inputs on the input module for playback, you can
easily provide the performers with a high-quality playback of the track they
have just recorded. Here’s how to set it up:
• Set aside the first fourteen Channels of the input module for
audio tracks to be sent to the performers as a cue mix.
• The remaining two channels are reserved for the stereo mix
that the engineer creates in the studio.
• Connect cables from the console for monitoring the fourteen
performer Channels as described previously. Use direct
outputs, aux sends, etc.
• Patch the stereo mix output that you want the performers to
hear into the remaining two Input module inputs.
The idea is that you will create two Presets on the Personal Mixers for the
performers. The first is their standard cue mix. It uses fourteen channels;
the last two are muted. They can change it as needed while they work. The
other Preset is the exact opposite. The performer’s fourteen cue channels
are muted and the two channels containing the engineer’s playback mix are
on.
For the example, let’s assume that Channels 1 through 14 are used for
performer cue playback. Channels 15 and 16 will be used to play back the
recorded track.
To complete the setup:
• On the input module front panel, set the Link switch on
Channels 15 and 16 to the linked position.
• On each Personal Mixer create a basic mix of the fourteen
channels of audio.
• Mute Channels 15 and 16.
• Save the Preset (to location #1, for example).
• Create another Preset that has the first fourteen channels
muted. (Shortcut: Start by recalling the All Channels Zero
Preset by holding R
ECALL
and then pressing M
UTE
.)
• Set a volume for the playback on Channels 15 and 16.
• Save the Preset (to location #16, for example).
