This diagram shows microphones attached to channel 1 and 2 mic inputs, a keyboard workstation 
attached to channel 3/4's line-level inputs, and a CD turntable connected to channel 5/6's line-level 
inputs. An effects/sampler receives a mono input from the FX send, and its stereo outputs connect to the 
stereo return inputs. 
Mackie MR5 powered reference monitors are connected to the left and right main output, for careful 
and accurate monitoring of your work.
A desktop computer connects to the USB port, and allows the 2-channel main mix to be recorded and 
2 channels played back using Tracktion software.
