15—Aux Busses and Direct Paths

Creating a Headphone Mix Using an Aux Bus
Probably the second most common use of an Aux bus—aside from using it to carry
signals to an internal effect—is to use the bus to carry input and/or track channel
signals to performers’ headphones so they can hear what’s going on during recording.
You can send performers’ live input signals along with already recorded tracks to any
headphone mix you create.
Since you have eight Aux busses in the VS-2400CD, you can create up to eight separate
mono, or four stereo, headphone mixes for your performers.
To Set Up an Aux Bus Headphone Mix
1. Link the odd/even pair of Aux busses you plan to use, as described on Page 201.
2. Set either bus’s Pre/Pst switch to Pre—the settings for both Aux busses change.
You’ll want to use a pre-fader send so that you can adjust your individual channel
faders as you record without your performers being distracted by changes you
make. Their pre-fader levels will remain constant as you adjust your faders’
positions.
3. Route the linked Aux busses to a pair of VS-2400CD outputs connected to the stereo
inputs of your external headphone amplifier—Chapter 21 describes output routing.
4. Press the FADER button that selects the group of input or track channels
containing the first channel you want to include in the headphone mix.
5. Press the desired input or track channel’s CH EDIT button.
6. Turn on the channel’s send to the Aux bus by setting its switch to Pre. (See Page 148)
7. Set the amount of signal you want to send to the headphone mix by adjusting the
send level to the linked Aux busses you’re using.
8. Adjust the stereo placement of the channel’s signal in the headphone mix.
9. Repeat Steps 4-8 for any other input or track channel signals you want to send to
the headphone mix.
10. Press AUX 1-8/FX 1-4.
11. Use the Aux bus’s AUX MST 1-8 fader to adjust the headphone mix’s overall level.
To temporarily free up all eight Aux busses for use as headphone mix busses, you can
use your Direct paths to send individual signals to your effects during recording.
The following steps describe how to create a stereo headphone mix. If you want to
create a mono mix, skip Steps 1 and 8.
If you prefer, you can also set your Aux send levels using the faders—see Page 136.
You can also use effects in the headphone mix. See “Adding Effects to a Headphone
Mix” on Page 230.
