Kind of a specific mixing board question.

I've got a setup for recording at work that looks like this:



I'm using a 2642a eurorack.

The bass is loud enough to hear while I record. I do not want it in my monitor as well.

I am having trouble discovering how I can route the mixer so that I can monitor the track coming from the computer, while NOT monitoring the track from the bass line in, BUT with the bass track actually getting to the cpu for recording it.

Basically, I know nothing about mixing boards, and the manual really isn't any help either.

Any ideas?

    There is a very good likelihood that you will experience a latency delay if you live monitor the mix through the computer.

    This is why a lot of mixers and or interfaces with mixers on them, have "zero latency" monitoring where the signal is split from the pre to the headphone jack, and to the input to the computer.

    I do not know the specifics of your setup, but you would have the mic go into the mixer, and the mixer send to both the computer and the headphones. The Computer will then process and output to the stereo input on the mixer and be output to the monitors (which will be off during recording).

    Inside sonar, you can then trigger "input monitoring" to hear the processed signal "live, but there will be delay, and the delay will get worse the more effects you throw at it (they all need to be processed in serial).

    First off you'll be wanting to get one of these-

    Page 9 is a flow diagram, if it's 'greek at first, keep hitting it. It gets clearer/easier as you go trust me.
    Phones/Control Rm options are only 'solo, 2-track return and main mix. Looks like unasigning the bass channel from the Left/Right main would do it.
