question #1:
on my topaz, does one mix via the tape in/monitor ins, or via the line ins?
I've never had the pleasure of having the option of mixing thru anything but line ins before, but the phase button doesn't affect the signal thru this input, and sometimes I discover phase weirdness after tracking. so then, line in's, yeah? no?
question #2
how would I patch in my EH12ay7 or a Hamptone to a 'bay?
I have a 16 channel snake coming in from my studio to the control room. do i dedicate one channel of that snake? but then, what if i want to use it on a vocal in my control room later? basically i'm looking for a scenario where I don't have to keep plugging and unplugging mic cables into it. the only way I can see how that wuld work, would be to patch it in directly to the patchbay, but I also thought phantom power wasn't supposed to be fed thru a bay, no? do i need some xlr patchbays or something? does this question make sense?
anyway, if you understand what I'm getting at, and explanation would be swell!
thanks in advance gang. patchbays. aaaagh. though I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
cheers,
Jon
