Sound Reinforcement
Studio 32 Refererence Manual 65
Patch these six outputs (Groups 1-4 and L/R) to the first six tracks of the
recorder.
3 Patch the vocal and bass from their respective TAPE OUTs without assigning
them to any of the main outputs:
Voila, an 8-track digital recording that is easy to manage, and a happy audience
and vocalist.
The point of all these techniques is: don’t limit yourself in how you use the
different sections of the Studio 32. What works in one situation will require a
different solution in another.
Video Production and Post-Production
The Studio 32 lends itself extremely well to post-production applications where a
soundtrack is being developed for video or film. In most situations, a
synchronization system is being used, which ties together all of the time-based
equipment including one or more video tape recorders (VTRs), a multitrack tape
recorder, and in many cases a computer running MIDI software. The software
usually performs as a sequencer for adding virtual tracks (sequenced parts not
recorded to tape), and recalling effects programs on MIDI-compatible outboard
effects devices.
Video deck outputs may be patched to either the LINE IN or TAPE IN jacks in most
cases. To feed the output of the Studio 32 into a video deck, set the input of the
video deck to “line level” or “+4”, and connect either the GROUP or MAIN L/R
OUTPUTS to the video deck using appropriate adapter cables (usually 1/4” TRS to
XLR/Male). Make sure the input level of the video recorder is not set to “mic” or
“-40” level.
In live production, a typical setup would be to plug microphones into the Studio 32,
with direct outputs feeding an ADAT. Using the techniques listed above (“Using
Monitor 1/2 to feed a cassette deck”), make a reference stereo mix to record onto the
VTR’s audio tracks (or onto a single audio track if one must be used to record time
code).
