Volume settings
In order for your musician to hear him/herself on the headphones, you need
to pull up “AUX 1” and “Aux 2” in his/her channel (analog input) in the
TRACE PRO AE Mixer. For a portion of the signal going to the effect unit,
“AUX 3” and “AUX 4” have to be pulled up. (Push the “LINK”-button
between the knobs.)
The Output signal of the effect unit reaches the Mixer via analog input 5-6.
In order for your musician to hear this reverb effect, you need to pull up
“Aux 1-2” in this channel as well. (Push the “LINK”-button between the
knobs.) The same can be done with a playback signal form an audio
application e.g. a sequencing program. This will run into a channel in the
Mixer on e.g. “Play 1-2”. This is where you also pull up “AUX 1-2”, so
your musician can hear the playback.
Finalizing
Now you are able to regulate your monitor volume independently of the
musician. You wish to hear the signal solo or want to let the musician be
louder than the playback? – No problem, the headphone mix is not affected.
Important for that: for all aux knobs the pre button has to be active!
Please take care: When pulling up aux3/aux4 in the digital input, you will
get a feedback. Because: Aux 3-4, according to their assignment, go, via
the digital output to the effect unit.
Best would be, you save this setup using a clear and direct name. This way
it can always be recalled in a similar situation.
With this setup, you have complete control of what the musician hears. You
can increase the vocals, completely and quickly mute the reverb if needed
or even put reverb to the playback. Do everything possible, so your
musician feels just fine – he/she will thank you with some sensational
takes.
