8-Track
Mixdown
For our
last
patching example, we'll expalin
a
radica1 re-routing that can be used when your
8-
track tape has been finished and you want to
squeeze that last drop of performance out of
your M-35 in
final mixdown to stereo. First, we
move the
8
track inputs from their standard loca-
tion on the submaster "tape ins" to accessory
receive.
Pulling the jumpers will disable the mic
preamp, the trim pot and the overload "light",
but you don't
need the mics and the circuits here
will accept
+10dB (3.2 volts) before overload, so
it
is
safe.
Next, reroute
al1
direct-outs to the tape-ins on
the submasters.
This will now allow you to use
the
entire monitor section for
a
stereo echo-
send. For
a
master stereo-send, we'll use the
"studio" monitor
control group and select "mix"
on the 3-way switch there. Echo return will be
in the
norma1 way
-
effects-receive 1 and 2,
where you will assign the "dry" signal from the
inputs. We now
have only one problem left
-
we
can't "hear" what we are doing and we
need
a
monitor, so we use the electronics in the 2-track
recorder. Route the playback signal to "aux in"
and select "aux in" on the
"control room" group.
Now, switch from "tape" to source on your
2-
track and your whole system
is
ready to go.
