[QUOTE="harrybrilljr, post: 117035, member: 103"] Re: New Midas M32 Console Actually the recorder was fed via BUS outputs so it had to go through 2 faders before it got there. You then had to turn up a 3rd fader to hear what was being recorded. Inline recording desks are totally foreign to live consoles. Preamp through inserts (Compress to tape (better s/n), Gate on return (so you don't accidentally cut off something you needed)), EQ, HPF etc, then to the channel fader and PAN, then to the buss assign switches, to the particular mix buss (what we call a group in livesound) then to the recorder.. There were as many busses as there were channels. Even on split style consoles, not my preference, there were the same number of busses and return channels as there were tracks. There might be more input channels than tracks on a split console, but on an inline you had the same number of everything. The input channel, the group or buss, and the return channel would all be on the same strip. The playback could be routed through the same equalizer or bypass it entirely. No need to have 2 EQs on a strip, just flick a switch to use the EQ during mixdown. The Aux sends would be on the return and used for feeding studio mixes for performers as well as for effects sends. The deck could be set to monitor INPUTS (direct monitoring) or outputs, which monitored the playback head so there would be the tiniest of delay between the information going to tape and moving from the record head to the playback head and coming back. That is the best way to record. If you don't hear it, it's NOT being recorded. No problem with Paul. Also if the tape itself has a flaw you may just pick that up early on. Best to run the tape heads to tails and back to get any loose debris to drop off before recording. Always store tails out to mitigate the issues from print through. I think Led Zeppelin learned their lesson on that. (way down inside, woman you need, love)..... OK I gotta get back to work. [url]http://vintagewindings.com/images/Board%201.jpg[/url] [/QUOTE]
