Day 5

Today i worked on a mix of one of my songs. Had to get everything ready for a guitarist to come and play his part. That is in fact exactly why I even got into engineering. I have been doing electronic music for a while and finally grew over it. Styles, synths, musical instruments.. They all will be changing. Bt people will always appreciate live music and live sound. 

Anyway, i had a little theory lesson with Dave today.

Pre fade button in the center section makes recording be unaffected by the fader.
Input button in the center section leaves recording unaffected by the fader, eq, inserts, dynamics, and compression.

An easier way to set buses comes with not being able to have the short faders (stereo cue knob) working. One should have the efx button on in the center section, and then to turn on busses 1-2 for exemple.

Split mode and why we would need it. Normally, we have recording channels on the right, and playback on the left. So if we need more recording channels, we use split. In this case, the fader becomes just the monitor and not the output fader.

To do split:
channel in section: mic button needs to be on.
processing input: pre fade or input need to be on.
processing output: monitor needs to be on.

This way, eq, dyn, or anything else would be heard in the headphones, but not on the monitor speakers.

You can’t ride the pre amp because it makes noise during recording.

Those are my notes. I haven't tried them all out in practice. But i'll do it tomorrow or on sunday. 

good night, y'all.
