Engineer Uses The Monitor Section For His Mix; Talent Uses A Combination Of Aux 1-2 - Tascam M-2600MKII Quick Tips

In similar fashion, the STUDIO ON and LEVEL controls enable you to place a second pair
of speakers elsewhere in the studio. This could be used to provide the talent with the
means to monitor tracks in addition to headphones. The STUDIO ON switch enables the
send to the STUDIO OUTPUTS. Signal source is determined by the Control Room Assign
switches.
Providing Separate Cue and Monitor Mixes with the M-2600
Consoles
Frequently, it will be desirable to provide separate mixes for the talent and engineer.
During recording, the talent may want their instrument level higher than the rest of the
mix while the engineer may prefer a more level balance between all parts.
Remember that AUX 1-2 get their signals from the Channel Path (normally Inputs) while
AUX 3-4 get their signals from the Monitor Path. TAPE IN feeds the Monitor Path.

Engineer Uses the Monitor Section for his Mix

1) Set Pan and Level for all signals returning via TAPE IN
2) Control Room Assign will normally be set to STEREO
3) Control Room Level and L-R Stereo Master fader must be raised
TIP! This mix will be present at the Control Room L&R outputs and the CR PHONES
jack.
Note: Should the engineer wish to monitor the Cue mix, this can be easily accomplished
by pressing either AUX 1-2 or AUX 3-4 in the Control Room Assign area. As these two Aux
sends are normally summed, the signals from both Channel and Monitor paths will be
present in either setting.
Talent Uses a Combination of AUX 1-2 (Monitor Input) and AUX 3-4
(Monitor Tape) for a Separate Mix
4) Set Pan and Level of AUX-1-2 to adjust and monitor live input
5) Set Pan and Level of AUX 3-4 to adjust those parts coming from tape via TAPE IN
6) Make certain the AUX 1-2 and AUX 3-4 Master Sends are set for adaquate level.
Unity Gain is at roughly the 2 O'Clock position
TIP! This mix will be present at both the AUX 1/L- 2/R (also AUX 3-4) outputs and the
PHONES CUE jack.
