❏Assign MIC/LINE bank channels to desired tape tracks.❏Place tape inputs in record/ready to verify signal at machine.

❏If levels on the multitrack appear too hot or cold, adjust level with the LEVEL TO TAPE control.

Select TRACKING LEVEL. This sets the channel V-Pots to adjust the D8B output level to tape.

❏If you want to monitor from the multitrack, remove the MIC/LINE Bank from the L/R mix. This has no effect on the output to tape.

❏Adjust control room monitor mix from TAPE IN Bank. Verify channel assignment to the L/R bus.

❏Set levels in headphone system for musicians.

Aux 9/10 and 11/12 are perfect for stereo headphone sends. It’s often convenient for the musicians to, at first, monitor the L/R mix in the cue section (PHONES/CUE MIX 1 and 2). Once the initial L/R mix is established, copy it to the appropriate cue, then customize for individual monitoring needs.
