Recording in Stereo<br />
▶ Before powering the console, plug a pair of loudspeakers into the XLRs<br />
on the rear of the console labelled M1 LS O/P (this is the first set of<br />
stereo speaker outputs), and the DAW audio connections are in place<br />
using the 25-way D-type connectors on the rear of the console.<br />
When the console is booted for the very first time, the <strong>AMS</strong> <strong>Neve</strong> default<br />
Stereo Recording Setup will be sent to the console.<br />
This sets the states of various controls, routing, metering and monitoring<br />
selections, and presumes that the console will be used for Recording in<br />
stereo.<br />
(If you wish to change the default setup when the console is powered up -<br />
or even create custom setups of your own - select the relevant option in<br />
the Settings screen).<br />
Now set the channel fader to -10dB and the channel strip monitor (DAW)<br />
knobs to the 12 o'clock position.<br />
With the default Stereo Recording setup, the following states will be set on<br />
the main Master Panel:<br />
Metering options<br />
• Channel meters set to CH I/P<br />
• 8T meters set to MON<br />
• 2T meters set to MIX<br />
Cue Mix panel (applies to both Cues)<br />
• Utility set to MIX<br />
• AUX 1 - 6 set to 5 and On.<br />
MASTER SEL panel<br />
• CH SEL set to MIC with mic gain set to about -20dB.<br />
Control Room Monitor panel<br />
• MIX, INT, M1 and CUT will all be selected.<br />
• The monitor level knob will be set to Off.<br />
Solo System<br />
• CH SAFE, MON SAFE and LATCH all selected<br />
MON SEL panel<br />
• Set to DAW SND<br />
Routing<br />
• All of the Monitor paths will be sent to the L and R Main Mix busses for<br />
all channels (regardless of the actual console size).<br />
• There will be no Surround routing in place.<br />
On the Channel Strips<br />
• The Direct Output will be set to PRE.<br />
• (set the DAW control to be Pre for those mics you want to monitor).<br />
• DAW will be set to SND<br />
In this state, the console is ready to start recording from the Mic inputs<br />
with the Direct Outputs feeding the DAW (or tape machine).<br />
(In the Settings screen, the Power Up option will be set to be Default<br />
and the Timecode display will be set to DAW T/C. All other options on<br />
