Channel Strip
By pressing the noisegate button (IN) we can stop certain frequencies getting through in our mix, we can also set a window in which the noisegate is shut or open. The THR control is the threshold control which allows the gate to vary in frequency from -40dB to +10dB The Range switch increases the range switch of the gate which the default setting of it is 15dB The sidechain is fed from the input source feeding the gate. The flip switch on the other hand changes the source from sidechain to another signal path. If we press the Hold button a release time to the noise gate is fixed at 0.1 and the REL button control the hold time in which we can delay the release time between the trigger signal opening the gate and the gate closing. The IN switch places a wide bandpass filter in the sidechain with a middle frequency which changes from 70Hz to 4kHz by the FIL knob. The LED lights tell us when the gate is shut!
The equalizer (EQ) is a arranged as 2 separate sections. Both sections are normally placed in the channel path, but may be individually switched into the monitor path for mixdown by pressing the MON switch. The INSERT point is located before the EQ section and moves with it when the MON switch is pressed. The send is unbalanced and the return is balanced The HF section is the second row giving a 15dB cur or boost to a fixed frequency turnover of 12kHz The LF section which is under the HF section gives a 15dB cur or 60Hz boost The HMF & LMF sections have a peak boost/notch cut response at a middle frequencies between 600Hz-12Hz & 100Hz-2kHz on the knobs to the right and 15dB cut and boost on the left hand side. We can switch in or out the EQ sections by the EQ IN switch.
There are six Auxiliary Sends and are arranged in two sections.. AUX 1 & AUX 2. They are primarily used for foldback and a per-fade in the monitor path. By pressing CH; it sources them from the channel and POST makes them post-fade from the monitors. AUX 1 is a stereo send and follows the monitor or channel panpot even when using pre-fade. AUX 3-6 are used primarily for effect sends. They are always in the monitor path and post fade.
The channel fader can set the level sent to the TAPE SEND, SUBGROUPS BUSSES or MIX The fader has 10dB of gain at the top its fader travel. It can be cut by the CUT switch. XFX moves the source point for the channel fader to post the monitor fader so we can use the tape send or as an additional routing matrix when mixing. When we bounce we press the BNCE button on the monitor path. It moves to feed the group routing switches from the mix bus. This allows easy bouncing of tracks & makes the monitor channel safe from solo (this protects the the input groups when solo is active). The PFL switch allows direct monitoring of the signal from either the input channel fader or the input of the channel CUT switch (AFL) The MIX switch routes the channel signal to the stereo mix bus which helps us use the channel path as another input on the mixdown. The REV switch swaps the function of the channel fader and the long-throw fader. The CH PAN control selects the position of the signal within the stereo and routes the signal to any of the group buses (8 of them) via the routing switches. (PAN to the left=ODD number. PAN to the right=EVEN number)

Monitor Input
Tape Send ( Can use this on computer as this is what we record on) INS Send INS-Insert (like on logic)
Channel Out (Used when we havent got enough group outputs also another way to record audio

To know which overhead is left and which one is right we mark the mics from the way we see the mics in the control room not from the drummers point of view.
