DANGEROUS MUSIC
Feature: Instantly and silently switch between outboard processors.
Benefit: The human ear has a remarkably fleeting memory. Echoic memory studies have resulted in up to 4 seconds of
retention. Unfortunately these are based on vocal cues (random word sequences) vs. audio auditions. The latter have
resulted in only up to 1000 milliseconds. That means no time for a patchbay or clumsy manual jack swaps. The Liaison
provides true, instantaneous comparisons with no disconcerting pops and thuds.
Feature: True Hard-Wire Bypass Relays.
Benefit: When an insert is in bypass, the outboard unit is completely out of the circuit. This is the same as strapping an
incredibly short cable between the insert points- all circuitry is avoided.
Tip:
,
Even if the equipment itself does not have a True Hard-Wire Bypass, the Liaison provides it.
Feature: Color coded: Bright Green = Engaged; Dim Green = Bypassed
Benefit: Visual confirmation of equipment activated.
3. BUSS A & B
Feature: Apply your outboard gear on two completely discrete stereo busses.
Benefit: Leverage all your outboard gear twice, on two discrete buss paths. For example, take the output of your favorite mic
preamp and send it to
buss
a
. Then send the signal into your session. Meanwhile, connect the output of your mix to
buss
b
. Now all of your gear is accessible all the time for tracking, mixing and mastering.
Operation: Both Busses can be provided with input individually. Their respective outputs must be wired to the destination.
Tip:
,
: Take the output of
buss
a
and connect it to the input of
buss
b
to make one contiguous chain. This will allow outboard
that is connected later, to appear earlier. For example... the BAX EQ is in
insert
1
and the Dangerous Compressor
Limiter is in
insert
5
. Selecting
buss
a
’
s
insert
5
and
buss
b
’
s
insert
1
,
the Compressor will now receive audio before the
BAX EQ.
