The most common use of monitoring the busses with the
multi-track tape deck is playback with overdubbing. (See
"Overdubbing", Section #4).
There are several applications for using this "monitor" feature on the
MX2488. The following should help outline some of these uses;
* When the Cue or Effects busses are selected "Pre" fader they may be
used to send sub-grouped signals to on stage monitors or to headphone feeds. For
example, if you had a drum mix sub-grouped (mixed) to two output channels, you
could use the Cue outputs (Pre-Fader) to send the signal to the stage monitors, or to
a headphone mix during a recording. This greatly simplifys the monitor or
headphone "Cue" mix.
* When the Cue or Effects busses are selected "Post" fader they may be
used as effects sends for the output channels. If you had several channels sub-
grouped to one or two output channels you could use the output effects buss to
send that signal to an effect directly from the sub-group. Without this feature you
would have to adjust several "Effects" controls on several channels. This greatly
simplifys adding effects to sub-grouped mixes.
* Having this "monitor" capability from the output of the multi-track
playback allows you to interconnect the playback signals with the Cues for
overdubbing. It also allows for easy connection to add effects to multi-track
playback signals for rough mixes. (See section #4 "Overdubbing")

* Depressing this switch will route the multi-track tape playback's to
the 2-Track monitor section for rough mixes, quick playback of multi-track tapes,
and monitoring for overdubs. (See "Overdubbing" Section #4). Normally the
outputs of the multi-track tape deck will be connected to the "Line Inputs" of
channels #1 through #8. Depressing the "Tape" switches will access the multi-
track outputs for playback through the 2-Track Master Outputs. The (8) output VU
meters will accurately meter the outputs of your multi-track deck for level setting
during a rough mix. Depressing the "Tape" switch also causes the 2-Track fader,
Pan and VU meter to be fed from the tape playback source. Whenever the "Tape"
switch is depressed you will be making the tape playback signal available for all
functions at the 2-Track monitor section of the console. So, monitoring busses,
rough mixes to the 2-Track, and level settings to the 2-Track can be made with
ease.

The tape switches will not affect the output channel
levels. So, your print mix levels (including channel
levels) should never have to be disturbed. This allows
you to fine tune a mix, accurately match overdub
levels, and do rough mixdowns without affecting
the overall print mix. They should save you a considerable
amoumt of time and will probably become a very often
used feature in your production studio.
