this is a list of all the things you have to do when you enter the studio

1. fill out the checklist on the back of the door to make sure that everything is in the correct place and not broken/missing
2. then you will need to set up a microphone- you will need a microphone stand (found in the back lefthand corner), a microphone clip (found on the windowsill to the control room), an XLR cable (found in the box under the windowsill), a microphone found in the microphone cases and headphones found in the box. 
3. plug the XLR cable in to the stage box in the first channel and the head phones in to the first jack in put 

now the every thing in the live room is set up we need to move in to the control room it is important which order you turn every thing on

1. mixing desk
2. sound card and patch bay
3.  then monitors 
4. and finally the computer

doing it in this order helps prevent pops from the monitors as there is a sudden jump in the signal. and we turn the computer on last so it can connect to the sound card (which converts the analog to digital) properly. it also makes sure no equipment is broken before your session.

in the studio live room we have

1. drum kit (kick drum, floor tom, mid tom, high tom hi-hat and crash cymbals)

in the control room we have

1. allan and heath zed 436 mixing desk, it is important to mention that this is a live mixing desk and not a studio one, so it would be more suited to mixing live performances like at a concert However it can still perform all the requirements for mixing and editing studio performances because it has 32 mono channels, 2 dual stereo inputs with 4-band EQ, 6 auxiliary sends, Individual channel 48V phantom power. 
2. a sound card with patch bay this converts the analog signal from the mixing desk to a digital signal that protools can understand, the patch bay is used to rout the signal around and to add talk back so the people in the live room can hear you.
3. two near field monitors so you can hear back what you are/have recorded so you can edit and mix it as its playing. 
4. an apple mac with pro tools 11. pro tools has a very good sound quality with higher resolution Allows you to use up to 96 audio tracks per mix MIDI, score editor and virtual instruments for use Offers multiple audio formats to your sessions Over 75 plug-ins available which allow you to edit and finish your mixes with tools such as EQ, gain, dynamics and filters.
