TAPE RETURNS For the simplest recording solution, plug 24 Submaster/Tape Outputs into one HDR24/96 hard disk recorder or three 8-track Digital recorders. Then, route the signals back to the Tape Returns for mixdown. Q : What does Mix-B do? A: Mix-B is where your tape returns show up during 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 2track, 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. Q : How do I use the Source Button for Mix-B? A: The Source button lets the Mix-B access signals from two different places. You can use this as you see fit 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.
