For this recording, you have decided that
a click track will be necessary.
1)
Plug the first 8 microphones into
MIC INPUT 1-8
of XL-Desk (all the drums).
(Using the DB25 to 8 XLR female interface lead.)
2) Use external preamplifiers for inputs 9 -16. Plug the outputs
of the preamplifiers into
LINE INPUT 9-16
.
(If using your own
500-series amps, see notes on page 25.)
3) Make sure channels 1-16 are NOT sourcing from the
DAW
input.
(The DAW button
should be released.)
4) Increase the gain (red control) on the microphone preamplifiers until
the tri-colour LED starts to show some signal. If the microphone needs
phantom power, use the
+48v
button. Repeat this process for your
outboard preamplifiers.
Tip: Engage the
VHD
button on the drum preamplifiers to add crunchy
harmonics and liven up the drum sound. Use the gain (red control)
to drive the signal and the
TRIM
to back off the overall output level.
5) It’s probably a good idea to listen to how the microphones are sounding.
To do this route the first 16 channels to Mix Bus B by pressing the
B
routing button above the
CUT
button. Raise the faders.
6) Make sure the
MIX B
master level control is at 0dB in the centre section
(centre-indented position). Press the
MIX B AFL
button and raise the
MONITOR LeveL
control to hear your inputs through the speakers.
