❏
If levels on the multitrack appear too hot or cold,
adjust level with the LEVEL TO TAPE control.
Select TRACKING LEVEL. This sets the channel
V-Pots to adjust the D8B output level to tape.
❏
If you want to monitor from the multitrack,
remove the MIC/LINE Bank from the L/R mix.
This has no effect on the output to tape.
❏
Adjust control room monitor mix from TAPE IN
Bank. Verify channel assignment to the L/R bus.
❏
Set levels in headphone system for musicians.
Aux 9/10 and 11/12 are perfect for stereo
headphone sends. It’s often convenient for the
musicians to, at first, monitor the L/R mix in the cue
section (PHONES/CUE MIX 1 and 2). Once the initial
L/R mix is established, copy it to the appropriate
cue, then customize for individual monitoring needs.
