Week 3 - AA1 - Headphones

We were shown how to connect headphones. David was telling us that a good engineer will listen to all sort of things, like the headphones the musicians are hearing, the main mix, and so on. So we went to studio to check out the headphones. Turns out that the EMU headphone slots are for channels 3 and 4. We were then looking for which ones connects up to 1 and 2. Channel 1 turns out to be linked to the dead room but we didn't find out where 2 goes to, but it could be Studio 1.

Anyway, we went to try out the headphones (as well as practicing the start up procedures). When we went there, a large group of people were recording in the EMU and Studio 1. So instead of using a radio, Jamie played the guitar in the dead room while we set up the headphones.

The guitar is connected to the dead room's wall bay for Input 1 and the headphones are connected to it's input on the wall bay too. Normal patches are applied to the patchbay and the Mackie mixer.

On top of that, Aux 1 and 2 are used to control the output to the headphones in the dead room. We could also set up the left and right side of the headphones.
