your track layout
Posted: Thu Mar 24, 2011 11:50 pm
what is your track layout on your mixer? I hope it's not a big secret. I play in a live dub band, and at the moment I'm unsure if I we need the extra channel for the hi hat, but then again I wasn't succesful yet micing it so I get snare and high hat with one microphone.
We use an Fostex 8 Channel Mixer, as that is sufficient for us.
1: Kick Drum
2: Snare
3: Hi Hat
4: Bass
5: Melodica + Percussions which are done with the same mic by the same guy (and the Siren I'm going to build I want to rout to this channel too)
6: broken
7: broken (when channels 6 and 7 work again I want to use them live for guitar and organ, but as they have separate amps, we do not need that for rehearsals)
8: rewired Delay Send
I'm interested to see other track layouts, or to read some tips for improvement of mine. I'd also be glad to read some tips on EQing and other processing like compression. I'm thinking about buying a 2 channel compressor for bass and kick, which could then be sidechained, though I dont know if thats a good idea.
cheers,
Franz
