* A mult is a series of jacks on a patch bay which are internally connected to one another. Therefore, when you plug an output into a mult, it is passively split multiple times, allowing you to patch those jacks (same signal) to different destinations. Our mults are indicated on your patch bay diagrams.
**Read Radial ReAmp manual.
Read, MRT: Re-amping: 147-148; 153-154.

PMT pg: 61-63; 47-54; 39-40.
Note: GT amp will be in ISO. We will Re amp the bass DI through the GT amp after the basic tracks are completed. Lets make the main studio absorptive behind the drums and reflective on the edges. Vox will be an overdub.

  1. Hmm, re-amping is confusing. Let me see if I got this right: Are we recording the bass tracks before anything else then playing it through GT amp to re-record it?
