Hey all,
I've been looking through the archives for the answer to this, but can't seem to define the right search...
Basically, I have two options with my recording setup (see below) when it comes to what I send to the headphones in my studio from my control room when doing a punch in.
The first is the singer/performer can hear the existing track until I punch in the new performance, then his mic goes "live" in his headphones.
The second, the singer/performer can hear himself through his headphones prior to and durring the punch but can not hear any existing track.
So I'm wondering, which is common, which is preferable, which is better?
Also, given my setup is there another option.
Setup: Soundtrack 24-channel Topaz8 board into an Alesis HD24XR. I'm using the Studio Out to send the AUX1 mix to the headphones, but I can also route a MONITOR MIX or the MAIN MIX to the phones as well.
Thanks all!
