4-5 In Line Channel Multitrack Recording Set-up
If FADER is not placed in any of the eight windows, it is automatically
positioned after window number -8- equivalent to the monitor fader in an
in-line console.
By selecting MULTI to one of the eight windows, the multitrack machine
is inserted into the path and creates an In-Line channel. This then assigns
the {SEND} and {RET} (urn) buttons, situated above the pans, to control
whether the user is listening to the signal being sent to the tape or the
return signal from the tape. The signal from tape is now sent to the
monitor path via the channel fader. The {RECORD} button arms the tape
machine into ready record for that track. The signal from the Mic input is
sent to the routing via the send level on the Multitrack panel. This level
can also be controlled by the fader by selecting M/T SEND. (See SELECT
TO FADERS functionality in Chapter 6, Technical Descriptions).
Any function in the eight windows positioned before the word MULTI
affects the signal recorded on tape. This is equivalent to the channel path
of an in-line analogue console. The functions positioned after MULTI
affect the monitor signal. For example, the diagram shows the word
MULTI in window position 5. The effects of FILTER, EQ and INSERT
are all being recorded. The DYNAMICS affect just the monitor signal.
