EXAMPLES OF USAGE
The 4Pre is an excellent choice for many recording and monitoring applications. Some
typical configurations are shown below.
1 . Recording a small band
USB
This setup illustrates a typical configuration for multitrack recording with DAW software on your
computer.
In this example we are making a live recording of a small band, consisting of
electroacoustic guitar, bass guitar, synth and two vocalists.
•
Guitars: these are shown connected to the 4Pre’s front panel inputs. Note that
only Inputs 1 and 2 can be configured to accept instruments directly, so we have used these
two inputs for the two guitars. Ensure Instrument mode is selected for Inputs 1 and 2 from
Focusrite Control
, and the INST LEDs are illuminated.
•
Mics: Two mics for vocals are plugged into Inputs 3 and 4; if they are condenser mics, press
the 48V button to enable phantom power.
•
Synth: The stereo line output from the synth is connected to LINE INPUTS 5 and 6 on the rear
panel.
