The following pages feature some sample EQ and effects whilst knowing exactly how "Hook-ups", ways to connect the MM122 for it sounds on the tape itself (see Hook-up a variety of tasks. These are only guides, #1).
HOOK-UPS Hook-up #1:Four-track Recording Notes 1. Most people record tracks "dry" (without reverb and effects) because this leaves the option of adding them later at mixdown. The effect on AUX 2 won't come out on the tape tracks - it is just for those who like a little reverb while they're mixing to make things a bit more pleasant sounding.
Hook-up #2: Stereo PA and Monitors Notes 1. Many guitar effects have a pre-amp stage built in. It is fine to serial effects between this and the mixer's inputs. If the guitar rig outputs in stereo, treat the whole rig as you would a keyboard or synth input. 2.
2. Monitoring can be accomplished a number of ways. The MM122's main outputs feed a stereo signal to the main console which can take a pre-fade mix of these and the other instruments to send to the monitors.
Hook-up #4: Four-track Alternative Notes 1. The 4-tk sends come from the insert and are returned through the same insert. A send and return Y-cable should be used with the jacks inserted all the way in. The tape returns will then be sent to the master. The trim pots set the level going to tape, the main fader sets the monitoring level.
