Starting a New Session
5. To monitor the aux send mix, click on
the SOLO button in the Master V-Pot
Section. The aux send is routed to the
Control Room Output. Use the V-Pot in
the Studio/Solo Section to adjust the
Solo level (make sure the SOLO button
is on). If you’re monitoring on head-
phones, select CONTROL ROOM in the
Phones/Cue Mix Section (console only,
see next section).
Headphones
If you like to check things out in your
phones, and especially if you want to use
the Digital 8•Bus solo or PFL functions as
a cue circuit, set your phones up like this:
• Plug your headphones into one of the
two PHONES output jacks; let’s say
PHONES 1. Now select CONTROL
ROOM as the PHONES/CUE MIX 1
source.
• In the Control Room Section, select
MASTER L-R as the source. Since the
solo bus only feeds the Control Room, you
need to monitor the L-R mix via the
Control Room circuit to get to the solo bus.
Adding EQ, Dynamics and
Effects to Input Signals
The only difference between using EQ
and effects on our digital mixing console in-
stead of an analog console is that there’s
only one set of knobs to adjust, rather than
a gazillion. Just push the SELECT button
on the channel you want to adjust, and the
Fat Channel becomes an extension of that
channel, showing you the settings for the
selected processor (EQ, compressor, gate,
internal effects) and allowing you to easily
and accurately adjust the parameters for
each one.
Adding EQ
TO ADD EQ
From the console:
1. Select the channel you want to EQ by
pressing its SELECT button.
2. Press the EQ button in the Fat Channel
Section.
3. Adjust the EQ as desired.
