14.1 Sends

Fig. 14.1: Send routing

In a dance production, effects are often of paramount importance in creating interesting/evolving sounds, and aux sends are usually all dedicated to this purpose. Also it is not unusual for a vocalist to be drafted in to add some colour to the mix at a late stage. The following set-ups avoid using aux sends for headphone monitoring, while enabling both the vocalist and engineer to get a comfortable headphone mix.

14.2 Auxless headphones mix

The vocalist will probably want to hear her-/himseif above the normal mix level. With the following headphone sources you can do this without tying up any aux sends or MIX-B. Passing the DIRECT OUT through any 1 in 2 out delay/reverb device enables the vocalist to choose an effect she/he is comfortable singing along with.

Fig. 14.2: Simple auxless headphones mix

Here the MIC CHANNEL FADER controls the amount of extra voice blended into the main mix. Adjust the FADER level first until the vocalist is happy, then set the level to tape with the SUBGROUP FADER(S).

Alternatively:

Split the microphone onto two channels and use one to feed the routing matrix while the other drives the EXTERNAL input via its direct out. Now you have totally indepedent monitoring and tape send levels for the vocal signal.
