USB output FROM the mixer - recording, etc: Round Two Rejects In the USB OUT section you may select either the main mix (disengaged) or subgroups 1-2 (engaged) from the conveniently titled USB OUT switch [49]. The USB tap points for the subgroups are pre-fader and signals will show up on the DAW dependent upon how they are panned on the channels. In other words, if subgroups 1 and 2 are used to submix drums and those drums have a stereo image (e.g. overheads and toms pan according to desire), this stereo image is retained in the DAW inputs (assuming subgroup 1 is set to "L" and subgroup 2 is set to "R"). Any adjustments made to the subgroup drum levels during the show only pertain to the live show itself; recording levels are not adjusted in the DAW unless they are adjusted on the channels. Smashing Guitar Man Then, in the early 2000s, the graphic designers decided to give the Running Man logo some color, basically adding a theme to "spice it up". This idea didn't take off, so it was eventually shelved. Likewise, it is possible to record the main mix to take home a copy of the live show. These levels are also pre-main fader. Therefore, levels may be mixed up or down in the DAW later depending on the needs of the recording versus the live show. The end result is that fade-ins and/or fade-outs made during the show do not affect recorded levels. Jazz Man Reggae Man Country Man 4. RUNNING MAN LOGO The Running Man logo has been a point of controversy since its inception. The history of the Running Man is rather vague; nor do we know what he is running from...or towards? Or perhaps the man is running sound and not actually running to or from anything or anyone. Here is what we do know: Origins: It originated in the early '90s when founder Greg Mackie decided that a logo was just as (if not moreso) important than just the name. He stated that, "brands are not recognized by name alone, but by their accompanying logo...take a look at the logos of McDonald's®, Nike®, Microsoft® and Apple®. You can recognize those brands based on the logo alone." Rockabilly Man Samba Man Metal Man Current status, the future and beyond: The current status is easy; it's as you see it today on every Mackie product. Who knows what the future of the Running Man logo holds? It's like the wheel analogy: why fix it if it ain't broke? The Running Man logo may be seen all over the world, from the tiniest hole-in-the-wall clubs to the biggest sized arenas, mid-sized theatres, houses of worship, casinos and more! He quickly assembled a team to design what would eventually become the Running Man logo. Here are a few early examples that were eventually rejected: Round One Rejects Thinking Man Drinking Man Stinking Man 10 ProFX16 and ProFX22 Running Man (in all his glorious glory)
