  3. Explain the simple room flow
  4. Explain the normals between the NEVE and the Apollo X16s
  5. Turn ON the two 19" rack power units labeled for Apollos and Genelecs/Adams at the bottom of the rack (to the right of the Neve). There will be a pop from the Genelecs; this is normal.
  6. Both Apollos will power on.
  7. Use the LG Display Remote to turn on Display monitors
  8. Turn ON and login to the computer
  9. Make sure the Apollos sync with the Mac (a UA loading bar will briefly appear); Apollo A should have "Int" illuminated and Apollo B should have "Ext" illuminated. If they are reversed, power cycle them, turning A on first.
  10. OPTIONAL: Make a new folder with your name on it in the Storage drive
    • (Storage drive folders are accessible to all users of the computer; anyone can modify or delete files here, but it is a good way to turn in assignments or share files with classmates).

SIGNAL FLOW

  6. Turn the Cue send 1 and 2 up on the channel, and monitor the Cue send volume
  7. Open Pro Tools
  8. Select - New - 118 Multitrack Template
  9. Record the source that's on the NEVE
  10. Listen to the outputs of Pro Tools through the Neve's Monitor Controller (Apollo B Outputs 5-6 are normalled to the Neve's Ext Source In 1)
  11. Patch live mic to NEVE Penthouse MIC input
  12. Trim mic and check levels in Pro Tools
  13. Explain the Cue function in Pro Tools and where the Cue sends go on the NEVE
  14. Supply talent with Headphone mix of pre-recorded and live material (via "Cues," AKA "Aux Sends")
  15. Record to Pro Tools
  16. SAVE

MONITORING SECTION

  1. Show where the monitor switches are
  2. Explain why you might use the External Inputs and what is normalled to them
