The rhythm and lead guitars play through stereo effects processors plugged into the line inputs
of channels 1 and 2. Microphones are connected to the mic inputs of channels 3-10 with a vocal
compressor connected to the channel 3-4 insert jacks. [Drums are mic'd on channels 5-10].
A bass guitar is connected to the line input of channel 15, while a synth is connected to the stereo
line inputs of channels 15-16.
A stereo compressor and stereo graphic EQ are connected to the L/R main inserts. Digital reverb and
delay processors are connected to aux sends 1 and 2, with the aux sends set to post-level. Effects are
added to the main mix via the stereo return inputs, and adjusted with the stereo return level control.
There are a multitude of recording possibilities geared for both analog purists and digital hounds.
There are three examples listed here, but feel free to experiment! (1) the RCA tape inputs and outputs
are connected to a stereo tape deck. It's an easy way to get a stereo recording of the entire band,
as well as listening to playback (over tape), (2) the eight direct outputs are connected to the eight
inputs of a multi-track digital recorder, and (3) the eight subgroup outs are connected to the laptop.
Again, there are many choices for recording. Do what works for you and your setup!
A pair of MR8mk3 studio monitors are connected to the control room outputs to listen to playback
of your latest masterpiece.
