The 828x stereo return bus can be used for a variety
of purposes. For example, you could use it to send
a final mix being played through the 828x back to
the computer, where you could record it for
mastering or archiving purposes.
As another example, you could use the stereo
return bus to capture tracks played from your host
software, along with live inputs being routed
directly through the 828x hardware via CueMix FX
(with or without CueMix effects processing on the
live inputs).
Word Out
The Word Out menu appears when the 828x is
operating at a 2x sample rate (88.2 or 96kHz) or 4x
sample rate (176.4 or 192kHz). This menu lets you
set the word clock output either to match the
current sample rate (
System Clock ) or force it to the
corresponding 1x rate (either 44.1 or 48kHz). For
example, if the 828x were operating at 176.4kHz,
choosing the
Force 44.1/48kHz option would
produce word clock output at 44.1kHz.
