Using an Effect Send / Return Loop to Achieve a Wet Mix for the Talent
and a Dry Mix for the Engineer
During recording, a vocalist may find it preferable to hear some reverb added to the
mix even though the engineer wants to print "dry" to tape. This type of situation is
easily accommodated by the M-2600
MK
II.
Since AUX 1-2 and AUX 3-4 may currently be in use for the purpose of creating a Cue Mix,
this example will use AUX 5 for the effects loop. Proceed as follows:
1) Patch in the reverb unit via AUX SEND and RETURN #5 - set the reverb's WET/DRY
balance to WET
2) In the M-2600
MK
II's AUX MASTER section, locate Effects Return 5 and press the
Effects Return Assign switch identified as CUE
Using AUX 5 to add reverb to the vocalist will now have the returning effects signal routed
to the CUE/AUX 1-2 buss. This will enable the vocalist to hear reverb while the signal to
tape and to the Monitor mix remain "dry".
