Live P.A. with 2-Track Recording

In this example we'll use the aux sends 1 and 2 for stage foldback, and 3/4/5/6 for
front-of-house effects. The P.A. is driven from the main mix. MIX-B will be used to
set up the mix to DAT.

Tab. 17.1: Channel assignments 2-track
Every B-channel has its own LEVEL, PAN and HIGH and LOW EQ. MIX-B in fact is
acting here like a totally independent separate mixer, albeit with fewer facilities
than the main mix. The primary stereo reverb/echo unit's outputs have been
patched into A-channels rather than an aux return, to enable them to be sent to
the MAIN MIX and MIX-B independently.

None of the tape tracks can be auditioned in this configuration. The channel fader
- -
controls the level to tape, MIX-B adjusts the P.A. level.
- -
The channel inserts (which are pre fader), may be used as virtual direct outs.
Hopefully you will be able to set the input gains (
on any channel that does not have a massive EQ (i.e. energy) swing away from
0 dB. The consequent lack of any desk EQ on your tape tracks might even be an
advantage when it comes to remixing the concert back in the studio.
S48 is UP, i.e. MIX-B is NOT blended into the main mix.
Bringing the DAT back on aux 1 return P49 (as opposed to the 2-track or
external inputs) enables not only auditioning of DAT playback, but also
balancing playback level against the main mix, in case you also want
to use it to play a pre-recorded intro tape to set the scene for the
coming performance.
Be sure to have aux return 1 turned all the way down or de-assigned
when recording to DAT. Otherwise expect massive and terminal
(as far as the P.A. and gig are concerned) howlround.
