Starting a New Session
Making a Recording While
Doing a Live Mix
You’re all set up, ready to go, when the
band’s manager comes up to you with a DAT
machine and goes “The producer wants us to
send him a recording of tonight’s gig,” and
you go, “I’ll patch it into the house mix,” and
he goes, “No, I’d rather get a special mix just
for the tape,” and you roll your eyes and go,
“You should really get a remote truck,” and he
rolls his eyes and goes, “Here’s the tape.
Make it so and we might hire you next time.”
Piece of cake with the Digital 8•Bus.
Aux 9–10 and Aux 11–12 are stereo aux
sends that can be used to make a stereo re-
cording. Simply assign the channels to the
stereo aux send, individually adjust their
levels and pans, and send it off to the 2-track
recorder. See “Live Sound Reinforcement
Hookup Example” on page 6-79.

Adding Effects to the Main Outputs
If you want to add an external effect to the
main outputs, you have two options.
For a serial processing device:
Feed the Master Outputs from the console di-
rectly to the inputs of the external device. Then
run the outputs from the device to your two-track
recorder.
For a parallel processing device:
Assign all the channels to an unused
submaster as well as to the L-R outputs. Connect
the submaster output to the input of the external
device. Then connect the output from the exter-
nal device to an unused effects return channel.
Assign that effects return channel to the L-R out-
put. This is the “wet” signal, and you control the
amount of “wet” signal in the mix by adjusting
the Effects Return fader level (in Fader Bank 3).
