Monitors for Control Room

This diagram shows an electric guitar connected to an amplifier modeler, whose balanced line-level output is connected to the channel 1 line input, a bass guitar connected directly to the channel 2 input (with the hi-z switch engaged), a condenser microphone on channel 3/4 with phantom power engaged, a drum machine connected to channel 5/6, and a keyboard connected to channel 7/8. A headphone amplifier allows for multiple headphone use.

An effects processor and a digital delay unit each receive a mono input from an aux send (in post mode), and their stereo outputs connect to their respective stereo return inputs. As an alternative to hardware units, you can send aux 1 and 2 to your computer by engaging the Aux Send 1-2 to FW 5-6 switch. Then use your DAW's effects plug-ins to add effects. Return them via FireWire to the main mix.

Mackie MR8 powered reference monitors are connected to the left and right control room outputs.

A nice 2 track recorder is connected to the main left and right outputs to record the main mix directly.

A laptop connects to the FireWire port, allowing the 2-channel main mix to be recorded and two channels to be played back. Individual channels, and aux 1 and aux 2 can also be recorded via FireWire (a maximum of 8 FireWire outs).
