What does Mix-B do?
Q: Q:
Mix-B is where your tape returns show up during
A: A:
tracking. Select Mix-B as the control room source to
hear what's coming out of the recorder. Mix-B also allows
you to create a separate stereo mix for monitoring or
recording purposes. If you want to drop a live event to 2-
track, you can obtain a stereo mix for a recorder by using
this feature. You can start an overall monitor mix by using
the Mix-B outputs to feed an appropriate distributing
device and then send other instruments in independently.
How do I use the Source
Q: Q:
Button for Mix-B?
The Source button lets the Mix-B access signals
A: A:
from two different places. You can use this as you
see fi t depending on your current mixing situation. One
choice is to have it access the channel. This lets it receive
its information as the channel "hears" it. Whatever is in
the channel and is being manipulated by EQ, channel
inserts, or Low-Cut, will appear on that channel's Mix-B.
The other option is to have Mix-B fed before all of the
channels' processing power. If the Source switch is in the
Up or "Flip Switch" position, Mix-B will receive its signal
according to the position of the Flip Switch.
