Creating Headphone Mixes for Tracking
Here is a useful example of how to create headphone mixes during tracking. XL-Desk provides two foldback circuits.
Foldback A is fed by the STEREO CUE bus and talkback can be injected using the
TALK A button. Foldback B is fed by the
AUX 1 bus and talkback can be injected using the TALK B button.
This example presumes that you have the Foldback A
and Foldback B outputs from XL-Desk feeding
independent headphones amps in the live room.
1. Set the Stereo Cue on each channel to be pre-fader. Use the Stereo Cue level and pan pots across
the channels to create a mix for the first performer.
2. Turn up the Foldback A level master in the centre section until the performer can hear the mix at a
desirable level (insert drummer joke here…)
TIP: The front panel headphones socket can be sourced from Foldback A (FB A) or Foldback B
(FB B) by pressing the appropriate front panel button. This is a useful way of auditioning the
mix that has been created for the performer in the live room.
3. Turn the TALK pot up to an appropriate level. Pressing TALK A activates the built-in talkback
microphone so you can communicate with the first performer.
To set up the second headphone mix, repeat the process but this time using Aux 1
(globally set to pre-fader), to create a mono mix for the second performer. Turn up
Foldback B level master to the desired level and use
TALK B
to activate talkback.
Aux 2 can be used to create a headphone mix without talkback, or perhaps as a mono send to a reverb
unit.
