SEND/RCV jacks ¡n the channeis should be
closely watched. Particularly distortion/over-
drive units, since your channel OL indicator
is located before the ACCESS point.
Setting the leveis for the control room moni
tor speakers is a simple procedure. Set the
STEREO MASTER Faders to the 7 to 8 position
and adjust the Monitor Master control {MONI-
TOR/PHONES) for a comfortable listening level
in the headphones or speakers, Begin raising the
indivisual channel MONITOR GAIN controls
and adjust them for a pleasing balance. Set
MONITOR PAN controls as desired for stereo
imaging and readjust the Monitor Master control
for a comfortable volume level at the monitor
speakers. Be aware that any "open" micro-
phones in the room may cause feedback, a howl-
ing sound, Turn off or reposition any micro-
phones that cause feedback.
VIDEO/FILM PRODUCTION
The Studio 8 fulfills all the audio needs of
the video/film production or off-line sweetening
facility, All popular brands and modelsof VCRs
and VTRs will interface directly with the Studio
8. Plug-in
compatibility with SMPTE/EBU
controllers and synchronizers made by Adams
Smith, Audio
Kinetics, Timeline, Cypher,
Convergence, ISC, Videomedia, and
many
others further enhances the Studio 8's capa-
bilities in the video environment.
The Studio 8 motors are under servo con
trol so that SMPTE controllers can tell the
transport to go directly to cue points and
the transport can respond with a high degree
of accuracy, The ACCESSORY jack aiso outputs
a tachometer signal whose frequency is inter
pretad by SMPTE/EBU controllers so that it
knows the position of the tape even in fast-
forward and high speed rewinds. A guard band
is not necessary when recording time code on
track 8 as long as time code leveis are recordad
at-7to-10VU.
Multitrack masters are easily created for
video/film through conventional overdub and
insert techniques or all eight Studio 8 tracks
may be recordad simultaneousiy. Isolated feeds
of the individual audio elements will later enable
máximum creativity in mixdown, since each
source is under independent control. High
quality multitrack audio can be achieved on one
machine without the necessity of transferring
audio from mono or two-track master machines.

allocation using the Studio 8 in a video/film
context.
