Mixing desks


There are three types of desks you can get as a producer making music. 1) the one you saw in your friends bedroom studio. 2) the one you heard they have at Krystrodrm studios 3) the one you saw on an American hip hop video. Lol..okay, let’s get back to business. The three types of desks available to you are a normal channel desk, an inline console desk and a split console desk respectively. The normal channel desk can probably be seen in use at any big church with a PA system put up in it. This desk will typically have a set number of input channels, a gain section, a simple EQ section and a stereo output. If you are lucky though, your desk will also have bus/sub-group outputs. These desks are not the most convenient for production as complete reconfiguration of cables would be needed to switch between input mode and mixing mode of the desk.
