An [[Mixing console|analog console]], also known as a mixing board, is a device for routing the multitude of audio signals present in a recording into various outputs. These boards allow the audio signal to be controlled, split, filtered and otherwise adjusted internally and by other devices in the electrical environment. Analog mixers are usually the central piece of equipment in a [[recording studio]] or live sound venue. Recording artists using analog consoles had to record using tape decks.
