  4 track out from mackie 1604?

  Posted by Larry Watts on April 5, 2007 at 3:26 pm

  We are recording a singer / guitarist using 4 mics.
  I need to lay down 4 separate tracks onto a four track video deck,

  Can the 1604 do this?

  I thought of using the two main outs and the mute/alt 3-4 for the other two.
  Can this be done like this?

  Thanks

  Larry

  Better still, use the 4 sub outs.

  The subs work fine for this. Assign Mic 1 to Subs 1/2. Be sure to pan Mic 1 to the left or you’ll send the signal to both Subs 1 & 2.

  Assign mic 2 to Subs 1/2 and pan to the right.
  Assign mic 3 to Subs 3/4 and pan to the left.
  Assign mic 4 to Subs 3/4 and pan to the right.
