Tab. 18.1: Channel assignments 24-track (track 24 pre-striped with SMPTE)

None of the tape tracks can be auditioned in this configuration. The channel fader controls the level to tape,

MIX-B adjusts the P.A. level.
The channel inserts (which are pre fader), may be used as virtual direct outs. Hopefully you will be able to set

the input gains (P2) to suit the multitrack on any channel that does not have a massive EQ (i.e. energy) swing

away from 0 dB. The consequent lack of any desk EQ on your tape tracks might even be an advantage when

it comes to remixing the concert back in the studio.
Using this setup, you can even change the P.A. to a quadrophonic system. Positioning takes place by balancing

the main mix (channel fader, PANpot P24) against MIX-B (P20, P21).
