During tracking we used the Project's individual outputs for vocal, acoustic guitar, bass, and [[PorchBoard Floor Bass]] into T1<sup>®</sup> channels 1 through 3.  We used Bose preset EQ for the vocal and acoustic guitar channels, (none needed for bass & PorchBoard).  This gave a great sound in the room, and allowed us to concentrate on the music and the mix without a thought about the recording.  Quite a nice freedom.

(As a sidenote, you can also plug mics needing monitoring in the T1 first, then route to the interface via the T1's Direct Out.  I have done this and it works great, as the output from the T1 is Pre-Fader, so volume sent to the recording interface is controlled by the Trim control, while the signal to the L1 is from the Fader.)


Set up was quick, simple, and required very little space in the room.  At the end of the day I made quick mixes using the {{L1 no link}}.  After remixing everything in the studio later with my studio monitors, I found that I much preferred the {{L1 no link}} mix!  It sounded much more like what we heard in the room as we recorded.

These mixes are *quickies* made in the living room after we recorded them.
We used the L1 as the monitor speaker.
