24 EURODESK SX4882 User Manual 17. Live P.A. with 2-Track Recording ◊ S48 is UP, i.e. MIX-B is NOT blended into the main mix. 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.

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. ◊ 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. 18.

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 ( P 2 ) to suit the multitrack 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. behringer.com
