Recording A Singer/Songwriter
This is a simple application to record a singer songwriter.
The mics for the vocal and guitar are connected to the SuperAnalogue XLR microphone inputs then processed with the SSL
Channel Compression and EQ. The Cue/Foldback 1 output is connected a headphone amplier to feed the artist. The Cue feed
from the channel is by default Pre Fader, allowing the engineer to make mix adjustments without changing the Artist feed.
The mics are recorded to the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) from the Main mix bus, using the Stereo Bus Compressor to smoothly
manage the combined transients.
Using Stereo Cue bus 1 for the artist and the Headphone or Monitor outputs for the producer means each can have independent
monitor mixes.
DAW playback is sent into the Stereo Channel, and then to the artists using the Stereo Cue 1 control. If useful, two separate DAW
feeds can be used into the two Stereo Channels allowing for separate click-track and playback level controls to the artist's cue feed.
The talkback system keeps the producer in touch with the artist using a phantom powered condenser Mic and the Listen Mic
Compressor and TALK level control conveniently manage the talkback levels.
