Method Questions

Question 1

First Aux Bus method question

Answer 1

What fader or path should the split be taken from?

Question 2

Answer to the first Aux Bus method question

Answer 2

The split should come from the fader or path that is RETURNING/AFTER the MTR

Question 3

Why should the AUX split come from the path that is AFTER the MTR?

Answer 3

Because the path after the MTR will always have some kind of signal (active recording or playback)

Question 4

In Tracking Mode, describe the buttons and faders being used

Answer 4

Buttons up; Fader fader is the default source fader, and the return signal from MTR goes to the Monitor fader

Question 5

In Reverse Tracking Mode, describe the buttons and faders being used

Answer 5

Mic, Line, REV buttons down; Monitor fader becomes the source fader, and the return signal from the MTR goes to the Fader fader. REV will make the Monitor fader output to the MTB, and the Fader fader output to the SB

Question 6

In Mixdown Mode, describe the buttons and faders being used

Answer 6

Line, REV buttons down; there is no signal on the channel path. On the monitor path, the return signal from the MTR is going to the Fader fader. REV will output the Fader fader to the SB

Question 7

Second Aux Bus method question

Answer 7

Should the split be taken pre or post fader?

Question 8

What is the answer to the second Aux Bus method question?

Answer 8

There are two answers:

1. If it’s for headphone mixes, it is pre-fader
2. If it’s for time-based processors, it is post-fader

Question 9

Why do we put headphone mixes before the fader?

Answer 9

So that when we mix on our end, it doesn’t affect the mix going to the headphones because it’s before the fader - the fader only affects what happens after it

Question 10

When sending signal to a time-based processor, why must that be after the fader?

Answer 10

Sending the split post the fader will maintain the wet:dry because signal is affected after the fader, so if we bring the fader up or down, the wet signal will follow

Question 11

First Console method question

Answer 11

What inputs does the console offer?

Question 12

Answer to the first Console method question (Neotek)

Answer 12

Question 13

Second Console method question

The input selector on the S-curve

Question 15

Third Console method question

Answer 15

Which console inputs are the outputs of the multitrack recorder connected to?

Question 16

Answer to the third Console method question (Neotek)

Answer 16

Line (return fader)/ MTR-90; you must cross patch if you want to use Digital Multitrack by patching into the Line input

Question 17

Fourth Console method question (Neotek)

Answer 17

How do I direct the output of any fader to the MTB or the SB?

Question 18

Answer to the fourth Console method question (Neotek)

Answer 18

At the S-curve, it depends if REV is buttons up or down:
up - defaults Fader fader to output to MTB & Monitor fader to output to SB
down - reverses the default, and makes the Monitor fader output to the MTB & Fader fader output to the SB

SB: both faders feed the SB, just select which stereo mix (A, B, C) on the fader of your choice
