Chapter 4 Signal Paths
General
In 'Broadcast Mode' the operator is able simultaneously to:
a)
Mix individual inputs to the Main Output Bus
and
b)
Record a multitrack backup as a parallel operation.
The multitrack output can be monitored separately via a stereo bus
accessed by the External Source Selector in the Monitor panel in the centre
section of the console.
Setting up
At the Input Channel & Inserts panel, set the channel path as for Mix-
down. Although a signal will be recorded to the multitrack, MULTI
should not be selected in any of the 8 channel path windows. Select {MIC}
or {LINE} and make sure {MAIN} is selected, at the Routing panel, for each
channel required to feed the Main Output bus. Cross patch input sources
via the LCD screens above the Channels sections.
(Refer to Chapter 5, Control Screens for further details).
To send the signal for each channel to the Multitrack as well as to the Mix
bus:
1. Press the {ACCESS} button on the first channel to be routed. Route to
the track required using the Routing panel.
2. On the Multitrack panel, toggle the { + } and { - } buttons either side of
the window labelled SOURCE, below the Group Trim knob, until the
desired source point is displayed. This can be taken from any of the 10
junctions within the signal path displayed on the Input Channel &
Inserts panel. The source point for the multitrack feed will be taken
from directly after the process displayed in the SOURCE window.
In the first diagram, CH INPUT is shown in the SOURCE window,
enabling a 'clean' line level signal to be sent from a point immediately
following the input stage.
In the second diagram, CH OUTPUT is shown in the SOURCE window,
enabling a signal to be sent which includes the effects of all selected
processing and adjustments made on the channel fader.
Further Examples
With EQ selected in the SOURCE window, the feed to the multitrack
would be affected by the high and low pass filters (FILTER), dynamics
section (DYN) and the equaliser section (EQ), but not by the INSERT
processing. If FILTER was the source, then just filters would affect the
signal and so on. All processes affect the mix feeding the Main Output
bus.
