8 Channels are sent directly to R.M.E. Fireface 400 interface, which sends signals to the Mac, via Firewire, to be recorded in Logic. Logic is controlled by The E Magic Logic control via midi. The SL 990 keyboard is connected to the Mac by midi 4 x 4 / U.S.B. T.C. reverb & effects are added from the Powercore D.S.P. via Firewire. Logic outputs 1,2,3 & 4 are routed via F.F. 400 outputs 1/2, 3/4 & 5/6 into the desk on stereo Chnls. 9/10, 11/12 & 13/14.
Channel 8 input is split via a Samson S Box to an Alesis Nanoverb which adds reverb to vocal monitoring on Channels 15/16.
Output 1/2 is sent via mix master faders to the Drawmer Control, to be routed to the Samson power amp & B&W Speakers, PreSonus speakers, Studiomaster Sys 5 monitor, drum monitor wedge or headphones. In order to minimise latency, all monitoring is achieved via hardware.
