Mackie TT24 Digital Live Console Owner’s Manual Addendum v1.7

52

Snapshot Recall of Mic Pre Parameters

Because the mic pre parameters can be stored and recalled via snapshots, this can cause 
some problems with sharing the mic pre. Ultimately, the users of both consoles want to be 
able to store and recall snapshots with gain changes and want changes made from one to not 
affect the other. 

Features of the 1.7 upgrade

•  Two consoles can share the input signals from a single analog or digital snake

•  Gain Compensation allows two consoles sharing the same mic pre from a digital snake 

to have apparently independent control of their gain structure by using a master/slave 
structure.

•  When the master console recalls a snapshot with gain changes, the slave console can 

compensate.

•  When the slave console recalls a snapshot with gain changes, the master console is 

unaffected.

Recording at Front of House

In today’s live sound environment, the need to record shows off the front of house desk is 
becoming increasingly important. This is especially true at churches and other fi xed installs 
which may need to deliver a variety of different performances to a variety of different 
recording and broadcast mediums.

Stereo Recording

The most simple delivery medium is a stereo recording to CD. This is commonly done straight 
off the LR mix buss with the exact same signal and level. It would be more benefi cial if this 
stereo mix could be at a slightly different level allowing you to hit the CD converters as loud 
as possible to achieve the best possible SNR. In an advanced scenario, the engineer may wish 
to use a different combination of levels from each channel for recording than is used at FOH. 
Finally, in addition to creating a different mix of levels for recording, the engineer would 
ideally like to have a different set of DSP available for the recording mix essentially having a 
completely different mix for recording than for the live output.

Multi Track Recording

If an engineer doesn’t have the time to make a perfect recording mix, or wants to endlessly 
perfect the recording mix after the fact, then they may choose to record individual inputs or 
groups of inputs onto a multi track device. Sometimes they may choose to record the inputs 
without any processing, completely independent of the main mix they are doing for the live 
show. Other times they may wish to use the process signals for the recording. Either way, 
the recording process should require very little attention during the show. When the show is 
complete and they are comfortably in their mixing studio, they can take the time to create the 
perfect mix.
