Recording System

As mentioned in the previous hookup diagram, Mix Series mixers are powerful tools that offer a lot of 

features, but are still easy to set up and use. Now let's take a look at an example of using a Mix8 as a 

recording mixer.

In this example, a microphone is connected to the channel 1 mic input, the lead guitar plays through  

an effects processor plugged into the channel 2 line input and a synth is connected to the channel  

5/6 line inputs.

A pair of MR8mk3 studio monitors are connected to the control room outputs to listen to playback  

of your latest masterpiece.

The RCA tape inputs and outputs are connected to a laptop. It's an easy way to get a stereo recording 

for posterity and use the same setup as playback of that very recording.
