Example Systems
Example System 1 - 8 Channel DAW Platform
The first example system shown on the next page illustrates a
basic system with a typical 8-in and 8-out soundcard / interface
as commonly available. In this example there are 8 microphone
channels, some basic outboard processing, one set of monitors
and a single reverb unit hooked up to the aux sends.
To print back your final mix, a stand-alone CD recorder is used,
however this could be a tape machine or achieved by feeding
back the mix outputs to your soundcard / interface inputs upon
mixdown.
Example System 2 - Hybrid Production Platform
As example 1, however a standalone sampler / synth is fed into
the channel line inputs to enable monitoring and recording of its
outputs.
Also the cue outputs now feed a headphone distribution system,
useful for feeding multiple performers a mix.
Example System 3 - 16 Channel Tracking Platform
In this example a second pair of monitors are added to
provide a useful reference for judging midrange and balances.
In order to provide 16 microphone inputs for tracking, an
extra
Audient ASP008 preamplifier is used. This is routed
digitally to a 16 channel capable soundcard / interface.
These 8 feeds are sent back to the 8-channel summing
input on ASP2802, allowing monitoring of these channels
and access to the cue section.
In this example, the analogue line outputs of the ASP008
are also routed to the ASP2802 line inputs, allowing optional
access to the direct output system here (note that they would
override the console microphone inputs at that point).
