| What is a split console? | - Tape sends and tape returns are on different channel - Seperate monitor section - It can't be used as an in line console |
| What is an in line console? | - Tape sends and tape returns are on the same channel strip - It can be used as a a split console |
| What is the function of the trim pot? | - It preamplifies the signal - It is used to achieves the best signal to noise ratio - It is used in level setting |

| What kind of device/connection is an insert? | Serial device/connection |
| How does inserts affect the signal? | It removes it from the console |
| How many insert are they on a mackie 1604? | 1 per channel + 2 : 18 |
| Line inputs will accept what kind of connectors? | Quarter inch |
| What can be patched to a lin input? | - Tape returns - Time based FX returns |
| What does our monitor section represent? | Multitrack returns |
| What does tape returns describes? | What is coming back from the Multitrack |
| Where do we find tape returns? | On the monitor section |
| What does our channel path represent? | - it brings the signal in - it sends the signal to the multitrack throug direct output |
| What is the signal to noise ratio? | Ratio betwen how much signal and noise we have. |
| What is a compressor? | An automatic fader |
| What kind of FX are compressors and gates? | Dynamic FX |
| Describe the master section checklist? | - Master fader to unity - CTL Roomlevel to 9:00 - CTL Room source to main mix - Solo level to 9:00 - Aux sends masters to unity |
| What is the slope of the low cut filter? | 18dB/Octave |
| What is the cutoff point of the lowcut filter? | 75Hz |
| What are some uses oof the lowcut filter? | Remove the sounds from the room, the AC, or the gear itself. |
| What is another name for the lowcut filter? | highpass filter |
| What are EQs for? | They later the frequencies properties |
| How many EQ ar eavailable per channel strip? | 3 |
| What are the 3 different kind of EQ on a channel? | - high shelf filter - Low shelf filter - Mid swipe |
| At which frequency is the high shelf EQ preset? | 12KHz |
| By how many dB can boost or attenute on the high shelf? | +/- 15dB |
| At which frequency is the low shelf EQ preset? | 80Hz |
| By how many dB can boost or attenute on the low shelf? | +/- 15dB What is the preset sweepable range of our mid-sweep EQ? |
| What is the preset bandwidth of our mid-sweep EQ? | 1.5 Octaves |
| By how many dB can boost or attenute on the Mid swipe? | +/- 15dB |
| What is another term for fader? | Variable resistor |
| What does the term tape send mean? | Signal being sent to the multitrack recorder |
| What is a direct out? | The shortest, cleanest, and most efficient way of sendinf a signal to the multitrack. |
| How many direct outpus is there on a mackie 1604? | 8 |
| What is a main insert and why would we use it? | It is a way to send all the mix to a dynamic FX processor. Used for exemple with a compressor. |
| When do we use tape inputs? | They are external devices inupts, we use them to plug things like Ipod, mp3 player, walkman... |
| Which Aux sends does our PRE switch affect? | 1 and 2 |
| What does prefader means? | The signal is taped before the fader, the fader won't affect the signal. |
| What does postfader means? | The signal is taped after the fader, the fader will alter the signal. |
| Where does pre-aux sends fall in the signal flow of channel strip? | Post Low cut, pre EQ (til emfadpa) |
| Where does post-aux sends fall in the signal flow of channel strip? | Post fader, pre pan (tilemfa dpa) |
| When and why would we want our aux send to be pre fader? | while making head phone mixes so that we can have two independant mixes |
| What is the purpose of the 5/6 Switch? | To switches a channel from the 3/4 aux sends to the 5/6 aux sends |
| What does the OL light represent? | - Muted - Overloading (clipping) |
| How does pan affect our signal? | It controls how much signal will feed the L or R or the subgroups. |
| What are each channel faders assignement options? | Solo, SubGroup 1/2, SubGroup 3/4, LR Mix |
| What are the benefits of subgrouping during recording scenarios? | To save some space on the multitrack |
| What are the benefits of subgrouping during a mixdown scenario? | Creating groups of instruments or grouping different parts of a drumset |
| Where does the subgroups out get their feed from? | The subgroup faders |
| What is the disadvantage of using subgroups output to send on the multitrack? | There will be more noise from the gear |
| What are mains outs and where do they get their feed from? | The master faders |
| When would we use our mains outs? | To create a stereo and send it to the recorder |
| What are insert sends? | What is sent to the dynamic FX processor |
| What are insert returns? | What returns from the dynamic FX processor |
| What is phantom power? | 48V DC |
| When do we use phantom power and why? | When we use condensor mics to provide power to the mic |
| When do we NOT use them? | When using a ribbon mic because they'll be damaged |
| How is it applied to the mackie 1604? | Globaly, on every track or on none of them |
| What are the 2 solo modes available on the mackie 1604? | - AFL - PFL |
| When would we use each one? | - PFL for level setting - AFL for everything else |
| What are the steps of leveling procedure? | - Apply PFL solo mode - solo the track we want to level - use the trim pot to adjust to 0 (on the meter) - unsolo the track (and either go on with another one or go back to AFL) |
