Monitor Controllers And Their Role In The Studio
Monitor controllers are all about improving your workflow.
Most engineers start their home studios with a simple recording interface. When you’ve only got two inputs, a couple monitors and a set of headphones, it’s relatively easy to manage where the signal goes.
As you bring in more gear and evolve your studio space, you'll soon come to realize that you've quickly outgrown this style of set-up. With expansion, it can become more difficult to route the signal where you want it to go.
For instance, how do you connect multiple sets of speakers? Or surround sound? Or even just a subwoofer that you can turn on and off? What about cue mixes, headphone amps and the talkback mic? That’s where monitor controllers come in.
Monitor controllers do much more than the name suggests. In addition to just controlling the level of your monitors, they also allow you to control what you hear.
