IV. MIXING-DOWN
What does “mixing-down* mean?
'Mxirg-down" is when one goes through a final mixing
ixccess, combining the various tracks ol the multitracK
-eccrder. and records the 'esjlling sterec/m.onaural cutput lo
a separate mosier recorder, "his b when tho finishing
:occh»s are applied to the multitrad* reccrchg. from eqaaliz-
ng to ePect processing, in order to create the desired feral
sounc.
Look at Figure 4. This configuration is intended for process¬
ing various effects on ths output signals ol pre-recorded
TRACKS 1 -8. to mix then and finally record tne stereo out-
pul to a naster recorder. We wil assume tho following
TRACK assignments.
rhe original signals sent to :ne inpui hAUERS (ibi or cran-
r els 1 -8are railed to GROUP MASTER FADERS I -6 (16f
as in Tgure 4 and then sent to CROUP busses 7 and 8 via
the GROUP TO L-R SECTION (18) and (19)
In this example, GROUP MASTER FADERS 1 and 2, 3 and
4, S and 6 are grouped in stereo (ie. 1. 3. 5-»LEFT. 2. 4.
6-+RIGHT). This is set with the GROUP TO L-R PAN (IS)
(refer to Figure 4). Also. the GROUP TO L-R GAINS (18) are
set lo 0. so lhai the signals will be sent to GROUP busses
( and 8 at the same levels as indicated by the FL METER
(31) for GROUP busses 1 ~6
Using ihe DIRECT OUT jacks (39), \ve wil process a chorus
on tine PF signal, and ther expand it to a stereo signal (ie
spill the chorus output between GROUP busses 1 and 2}
Also, a single delay (short) will be processed cxi the SYN 2
ervd CRC signals, then, along with the origins signals, ex¬
panded to stereo oy giving them a L-R perspective.
