INSERT CHANNEL/GROUP

For high dynamic range types of inputs, a signal processor

such as a compressor/limiter can be inserted in the channel

or even in the group insert (Split Module only), if an entire

group signal needs to be processed.

HEADPHONE(CUE)

During recording it is essential that the talent hear an

independent mix of what the engineer and producer is hearing.

Headphone mixes are usually derived from pre fader

auxiliaries. In the DAYNER Aux 1 and 2 are ideal for this

purpose. For that reason, the talkback is routed to these

busses. The best way to build a mix for the headphones is to

have the monitor section of the In-line module feed aux

busses 1 and 2. If your Dayner is a split format

configuration, (Split Input Modules on the left and Tape

Return Modules on the right), you would send to the

headphones via the aux send pots on the Tape Return Modules.

EFFECT SENDS

All unused aux sends can be used to send signals to signal

processors such as the D&R "Qverb" 16 Bit Digital Reverb,

effects processors, and digital delays. The Aux sends are

usually post fader to always keep the right balance between

untreated and treated signals.

EFFECTS RETURNS

In todays modern recording or MIDI studios, there is a demand

for many effect returns. For that reason, D&R has designed a

couple of modules to allow the user to customize the effects

returns. The most cost efficient way of returning effects is

with the Tape/Effect Return Module. This module has four

separate balanced returns, each with; a volume control,

panpot, mute switch, solo switch, and two aux sends with a

pre/post switch. The aux sends are used to send the effects

returns out to the headphones when you are using aux 1 and 2

for cue sends. The use of this module is normally with the

less important effects not needing EQ on the returns or not

needing to assign to the "Floating Subgroup System". Each

return on this module feeds the left/right stereo mix buss.

The next way of returning effects is with the Split Input

Module. Returning into the line input jack, you would have

fader level control, panpot, buss assigns with the "Floating

Subgroup System", full EQ, and all eight aux send busses.

Most Dayner owners use this module to return their most

important digital reverbs and effects processors. The Split

Input Module could also be used as a subgroup module allowing

you to subgroup several tracks or virtual inputs in a mix.
