	Mixing Desks
		All mixing desks have an input section, the physical and electronic point at which signals from microphones or playback machines are connected to the mixing desk.
		High-end mixing desks can appear with four parametric equalizer bands which allow frequency selection, boost/cut control, and a bandwidth control (where the center frequency is the frequency selected with the frequency knob), as well as a high-cut filter (a low-pass filter) and a low-cut filter (a high-pass filter).
		Mixing desks can have anywhere from two to sixteen subgroups-- technically, a mixing desk with stereo outputs can be thought of having two groups, because the engineer is not required to run the mixing desk into a stereo pair.

	Audio mixing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A typical concert has two mixers, one located in the audience to mix the PA heard by the audience, and the other is located at the side of the stage, mixing for the monitor speakers positioned directly in front of the performers so that they can hear one another.
		At other times, audio mixing is done in studios as part of multitrack recording in order to produce digital (generally at 44.1kHz/16bit) audio recordings for release on compact disc or as part of a film or television program.
		An audio mixing console, or mixing desk, has numerous rotating controls (potentiometers) and sliding switches (faders) that are used to manipulate the volume, the addition of effects such as reverb, and frequency content (equalization) of audio signals.

	Mixing console - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In professional audio, a mixing console, mixing desk (Brit.), or audio mixer is an electronic device for combining (also called "mixing"), routing, and changing the level, tone, and/or dynamics of audio signals.
		Mixing consoles are used in many applications, including recording studios, public address systems, sound reinforcement systems, broadcasting, television, and film post-production.
		Finally, there are usually one or more VU or peak meters to indicate the levels for each channel, or for the master outputs, and to indicate whether the console levels are overmodulating or clipping the signal.

		Regardless of what we called it the function of the mixing desk is to take sounds from different microphones and other sources and mix them together, as the name suggests.
		The output from a desk is usually a mixture of all of the tracks and is "sent" to an external recording device, such as a tape recorder.
		Mixing desks are defined by how many tracks and groups they have, as well as the sort of output delivered, such as stereo.

		Finally, there are usually one or more VU or peak meters to indicate the levels for each channel, or for the master outputs, and to indicate whether the console levels are overmodulating or (An excerpt cut from a newspaper or magazine) clipping the signal.
		These are either individual bus outputs, or auxiliary outputs, used, for instance, to output a different mix to on-stage (Any of various large tropical carnivorous lizards of Africa and Asia and Australia; fabled to warn of crocodiles) monitors.
		As audio is heard in a logarithmic fashion (both amplitude and frequency), mixing console controls and displays are almost always in (A logarithmic unit of sound intensity; 10 times the logarithm of the ratio of the sound intensity to some reference intensity) decibels, a logarithmic measurement system.

	Sound - Typical Mixing Desk - www.theatrecrafts.com
		Most mixing desks have two or three EQ controls for high, middle and low frequency sounds.
		This is normally marked 0db, and means the desk electronics are neither amplifying or attenuating (reducing) the signal - it's at it's optimum.
		The inputs sent to each output are mixed together, and once the output channel is raised, the signal is sent to the output connector.

	GCT - Digital Mixing Desk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Digital Mixing Desk is a simple tool for mixing Audio files in the same manner as you would with an analogue 4 or 16 track mixer.
		Mixing files can be done on any waveform editor, whilst this is fine for mixing a few short files together it is woefully inadequate for mixing several large files, where each minor adjustment requires manual mixing each file again, this is incredibly tedious.
		This Mixing Desk was designed as a simple, fast, effective solution to this problem, allowing infinite, quick, fine tuning until the desired mix is achieved.

		The guitarist "produced and directed" his own album and the mixes, completed with engineer Eddie Kramer, are performances in themselves.
		Hendrix was there at the beginning, but he was different, perhaps because his mixing moves were an intuitive - if outrageous - continuation of the way he played guitar.
		These richly textured mono mixes - rather than the awkward stereo usually heard on CD - are the closest we get to hearing what was happening in the studio all those years ago.

		Pre-fade aux's are used to provide a monitor mix to musicians onstage, this mix is thus independant of the main mix.
		For a simple stereo mix, the pan control sets how far left or right the signal goes in the mix.
		The fader is what sets the overall level of the channel in the main mix, essentially it is the volume control.

		To enable you to listen to the output of the desk there will be a socket for headphones and on the desk a volume control for these, some desks have a split switch for the headphones which enables you to hear a pre-fade source and the output of the desk at the same time.
		In the studio, the record deck and CD are used to play music into the mixing desk (and out to the transmitter and the listener).
		Some desks have the facility to put phone calls out on air, this is done with the help of a telephone balancing unit or TBU for short.

		Mixing consoles are used in many applications, including recording studios, public address systems, sound reinforcement systems, broadcasting, television, and film post-production.
		An example of a simple application would be to enable the signals that originated from two separate microphones (each being used by vocalists singing a duet, perhaps) to be heard through one set of speakers simultaneously.

	Halfbakery: Sweet Spot Expander
		This gives you an accurate stereo image so long as you sit dead centre behind the desk, but as soon as you move to one end or the other (and studio desks tend to be around 2-4m long) you end up in front of one speaker or the other.
		You cannot work on balancing the mix from this position, which leads to sore legs as you scoot the wheely chair up and down the desk, or sore arms and neck as you try to keep your head in the sweet spot and operate the knobs down one end at the same time.
		There was a plan once to design a virtual mixing desk using VR gloves and goggles in an acoustically 'perfect' room.

		With Mix B, "in-line monitoring" is a breeze.

		Instead of mixing channels together at unity gain where headroom is quickly exhausted, our mixers get more headroom by mixing at -6dB.

		The 'mixing desk' label is a lie - these are audience recordings, in OK quality, nothing more.
		Could be the taper sat "IN" the mixing desk area but this recording is most assuredly not taped "FROM" it :-) Both performances are quite good, the sound is there and it's a shame that BD chose not to be a little more adventurous with the set list.
		Still, a few gems include Lay Lady, Big Girl, She Belongs To Me, Friend of the Devil and the Not Fade Away rave-ups, though the late show NFA is marred by all the a-holes who felt obliged to storm the stage.
