Aux 9/10 and 11/12 are perfect for stereo head-

phone sends. It’s often convenient for the musicians
to, at fi rst, monitor the L/R mix in the cue section
(CUE 1 and 2). Once the initial L/R mix is estab-
lished, copy it to the appropriate cue (PHONES
SETUP > Copy Mix to Cue), then customize for
individual monitoring needs.

❏ Adjust headphone monitor volume in the

PHONES section.

The mix should be arriving at the mixdown re-

corder. It’s good to check this as part of your track-
ing process. At the conclusion of a session the artist
will probably want to take a rough mix for evalua-
tion—you’ll look better if it’s already set to go.

❏ Record a pass on the multitrack

Play multitrack back—playback should sound

identical to tracking and you’re ready to print a
rough mix.
