Unmute all needed channels
Bring master fader up
If adding new channels, ensure they are patched into the stream feed (Routing → P16 )
The normal tap location is "PreEQ+M" which gives the stream a copy of the signal just after the gain and includes the mute
This is so if a channel is clipping the fix (reducing gain) will be applied to both signals and the mute function from the main board is also carried. The EQ and other processing is handled independently.
During rehersal ensure all channels are sounding good.
Monitor all channels and mix as needed. The tablet is especially helpful for this as you may go downstairs where you may hear better.
Return the tablet to the tech booth and plug it in.
