– used for headphone (cue) mix in RECORD mode
– used for sending signal to external processors in MIX mode, creating an EFX Loop |

Multitrack Tape Recorder
– a recording destination, such as
1. analog MTR 2. digital MTR 3. ProTools hard disk recording system (MSV) |

a. An Input / Output jack on the back of the console
b. Used for “inserting” processors into the signal flow path such as Compressors & Noise Gates |
|
|
Mix mode = choose left or right
Record mode = choose odd & even tracks
– works in conjunction with routing matrix |
|

set to UNITY GAIN* in RECORD mode
– last gain stage of individual channel
UNITY GAIN – position of Fader (0dB)
* Unity gain means no change in level of signal. |

a. first gain stage b. pre-amplifier c. used to set record level |

a.k.a. “channel assignments”
Selects which group bus the signal is sent to. (1/2 3/4 L/R)
If no buttons are pressed, the signal flow will stop “dead in its tracks.” |

|
Frequency = Pitch
* Range of Human Hearing = 20Hz – 20kHz (cycles per second)
* 3 Band EQ on Mackie. (Lows, Mids & Highs) |
|
|
TYPE = shelving type
– Boost or Cut a fixed range of frequencies
RANGE = 80Hz and below |
|
|
TYPE = semi-parametric or sweepable
– Boost or Cut a Fixed bell-curve width
– Adjustable center frequency of bell-curve within fixed RANGE
RANGE = 100Hz – 8kHz |
|
|
TYPE = shelving type – Boost or Cut a fixed range of frequencies RANGE = 12kHz and above |
|
|
– A set of Outputs on the Mixer (*Channels 1-8 ONLY)
– Post (after) -fader
– bypasses the group bus and the routing matrix |
|
|
a.k.a. Sub Outs
– A set of Outputs on the Mixer – Last Gain Stage of console in RECORD mode – Several channels can be routed to one or more group busses in the Routing Matrix
Ex: for “Sub” mixing 1 2 3 4 L/R |

1. A processor that affects dynamics (amplitude not frequency.)
Example: Compressor & Noise Gate |
|
|
1. Reduces the dynamic range of an audio signal by a set ratio if its amplitude exceeds a threshold.
2. Makes Loud parts Softer
a. Threshold – determines when the signal is effected by the compressor
* The signal is effected above the threshold
b. Ratio – the amount of compression |
|
|
Goal = Reduce Residual Noise
– A Noise gate allows a signal to pass through only when it is above a set threshold: the gate is open. If the signal falls below the threshold no signal is allowed to pass: the gate is closed.
*The signal is effected below the threshold |
|
|
1.) Adjustable center frequency 2.) Boost or Cut 3.) Q = change width of bell curve |
|
|
all frequencies above or below a certain frequency are boosted or cut by the same amount. |
|
|
generally means a parametric EQ that does not have a Q control (the Q is fixed) |
