For that reason D&R has designed the Cinemix with stereo effects return
modules. See section 4.0 of this manual for a complete description of this
module.
Any unused channel or mix input can also be used for returning effects.
Every channel can accept two returns with equalization and aux. send
capabilities.
6.2 The Playback session
Multitrack playback. The Cinemix gives you a convenient way of monitoring
your multitrack recorder. Switch your master TAPE switch to tape.
Now the tape outputs are feeding the MIX path and you can adjust the amount
of signal you desire and pan it within the stereo image. Auxiliary sends and
equalization can be inserted in both signal paths whenever needed.
Control over this processing is carried out by independent solo / mute systems in
both signal paths.
6.3 The Overdub session
Multitrack synchronizing. Overdubbing is the process of building up a recording
track by track while listening to previously recorded tracks.
The Cinemix has an in-line monitor for each track of the recorder making it easy
to overdub. Connected to the MIX section of the dual path module, you select
the master TAPE switch to follow the tape machine and do all your sync
switching from the tape machine or remote.
The headphone mix is on the aux. send 1/2 or 7/8 busses. Aux 7 & 8 should get
their signal from the MIX section. It is best to activate aux. 7/8 to pre fader at
anytime you're using Aux 7/8 for a headphone mix.
6.4 The Remix session
Remix is the process of combining all recorded tracks with (keyboards and drum
machines for MIDI) signal processing and sending the mix to a two track master
machine, DAT machine, or cassette recorder. On the dual path module your
multitrack is connected to the MIX path. This routes the tape return to the MIX
input and leaves the mike/line inputs to the channel section of the module. At
this point you can use either a mike or line input in the channel section which will
feed the stereo mix buss. This will give you two inputs per module in the final
mix. You can activate the desired EQ on the channel or Mix path. The
incoming signals can be routed to the stereo mix buss via the ARM system in the
channel assign section. VCA sub groups can be made up (as required) in the
same way as during recording. Aux sends 7 - 10 can get their signal from the
MIX section and Aux 1 to 4 from the channel or MIX path with global pre/post
switching. Aux sends 5 / 6 get their signal from the channel section in the pre or
post fader position.
6.5 The MIDI or Virtual session
In most MIDI studios there will be an eight-track rather than a sixteen or twenty
four track tape machine. The majority of music production is programmed on a
sequencer using MIDI keyboards, sound modules, drum machines, or other
MIDI related equipment.
