to tape or disk from the channel input. Meanwhile, use the
cue alternative input to feed a balance of the undelayed signal
to your artist’s headphone cue mix – whilst at the same time
monitoring the main fader path fed from tape or disk so you can
hear the colouration provided by your recording medium (see
diagram at the bottom of the page).
Here are several other useful ways of setting up the console and
direct outputs for monitoring during tracking and/or stem mixing:
•
Use a post fader direct output to enable riding of input sources
or printing stems with automation data during mixdown.
•
Monitor back the recorded signals (printback or live feeds) via
the channel DAW inputs and alternative cue input by assigning
the cue bus to either the main mix bus or monitoring its output
by selecting it in the monitor source selection.
A Note On Building Monitor Mixes
Instead of building monitor mixes the traditional way using the
console auxiliaries, consider building your rough / monitor mix in the
DAW utilising the Control 2802 HUI
TM
control surface functionality.
Bring this mix back into the console either via the alternative cue
inputs or (if using the cue to feed external artist cues or fx
devices) the DAW Mix and DAW FB stereo rear panel XLR
inputs, which can be combined in the monitor and cue section
to provide hybrid headphone mixes containing some live feeds
from console auxiliaries along with DAW foldback mixes which
may include backing or click tracks for example.
This way of working allows your cue mixes to be completely
