Fig. 4.1: Post EQ channel insert
+In this arrangement you might find that compression tends to soften the perceived amount of EQ applied. The solution? Apply more EQ. This creates a real “pressure” sound, great for high energy music such as dance. (For a more subtle approach, use the desk insert points word for word.)
+Using a group insert to effect post EQ processing precludes the use of POSTPROCESSING AUX SENDS without some serious
5. SUBGROUP AND DIRECT OUTPUTS
5.1 Subgroups
The principal routes to the multitrack are via the SUBGROUP OUTPUTS. There are four stereo (or eight mono) subgroups, numbered 1 to 8. All main channels can access all of them, as can the STEREO AUX RETURNS 1 and 2. (For this reason it is usually wise to bring your best two FX processors back on these returns (or
Why are there 16 subgroup output jacks on the EURODESK when there are only 8 subgroups? Well, each subgroup output is duplicated, so that the EURODESK can interface with up to 16 tracks via the group outputs without having to
As well as always functioning as subgroups for track laying via the SUBGROUP OUTPUTS, groups can be routed directly into the main mix bus for submixing. Main mix routing is handled by switches S37 and S38. S37 routes an odd numbered group to the left bus, while S38 sends an even numbered subgroup to the right bus. That’s fine for stereo submixes. If instead you want a pair of mono submixes, press also the MONO buttons (S35 and S36). Now these subgroups feed into the center of the main mix stereo image, i.e. equally to L and R. You could have the first subgroup feeding into the left hand side, while the second one appeared in mono, but I can’t think of many real situations when you’d want to do this.
Subgroup SOLO (S33 + S34) follows the mix assignment. E.g.: if the main mix is selected, then that stereo subgroup will be monitored in stereo. If mono is also selected, monitoring is in mono.
