Myself (Bernie) going over signal flow (and the fact that I need a new haircut!) with students for the Nick Bognar Tracking Session at Flashpoint Academy:

In Studio Recording I section A, students tracked “Nick Bognar” in the main music control room and studios. Students were responsible for instrument placement, mic placement, signal flow, sound check, monitor and cue.
