INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the TL Audio Fat Track Tube Production Suite
the complete solution for tracking, summing and monitoring.
Designed to be the centrepiece of any home, project or professional studio, this unit
combines some of the best-loved TL Audio features into one compact and professional
unit, adding warmth and sonic pleasure to all recordings and mixes. Drawing on our
larger and highly acclaimed M series consoles; the Fat Track offers you that unrivalled
big desk sound in a more compact, intuitive and affordable package.
The Fat Track can capture your recordings with two premium TL Audio tube preamps
as used on our M Series consoles contained within two fully featured channel strips
with 3 band swept musical EQ taken from our M1 console. Use the Fat Track for
summing and mix-down also, with 4 stereo and two mono returns. You will
immediately become aware of the richness and clarity of sound you gain when
summing your audio analogue via the Fat Track. You can even bring your entire mix
back via the 2 mono channels to add some EQ or final warmth, patch in a compressor
to the master inserts and suddenly you have a complete mastering solution too!
The monitor section also comes packed with features, including, separate return solo
and selection buttons, effects return, alternative loudspeaker mode, loudspeaker mute,
and 2 headphone outputs with individual rotary control. Headphone output 1
(producer) also follows your selections in the master section, whilst headphone output
2 (artist), stays fixed on the stereo bus to enable you to create a separate cue mix for
your client.
The multitude of inputs and outputs available within easy reach on the top panel
makes for a flexible and intuitive workstation where quick cable changes are made
easy. Space for fitting a TL Audio DO-8 ADAT interface is also provided allowing
easy digital connectivity.
Designed for the producer, musician, singer/songwriter, engineer or general enthusiast,
