5 − Mixer
A pair of tracks can be routed for direct output through the
analog
STEREO OUT jacks (and the DIGITAL OUT ).
While the above screen is shown, if you use the JOG/DATA
dial to select linked or paired tracks (1/2–23/24), the track
signal bypasses the mixer and stereo faders and is output
directly from the
STEREO OUT jacks. Usually this function
is OFF.
NOTE
The direct output signal is a track playback signal that
does not pass through the mixer channel. EQ, insert
effects, the channel fader and the stereo fader all
become ineffective.
Direct output
Sub mixer
The 2488neo sub mixer facility allows you to add up to
eight more inputs (usually on mixdown) to the twenty-
four tracks already recorded. These could be inputs from
a multi-timbral MIDI device, synchronized using MIDI
clock information from the 2488neo driving a sequencer.
The eight inputs from
A through H are pressed into service
here and they feed a bus that can be routed to the stereo bus
(or to the recorder in bounce mix—see “Making a bounce
mix” on page 58).
1 To assign an input to the sub mixer, while press-
ing and holding its INPUT key, press the sub mixer
channel’s SELECT key.
2 Repeat this process for all inputs to be assigned to
the sub mixer.
3 While pressing and holding the sub mixer
section SELECT key, press the STEREO section’s
SELECT key.
Finally, assign the sub mixer itself to the stereo bus.
To see the sub mixer status, press the sub mixer
section
SELECT key to show the SUB MIXER screen:
This shows the current assignment of inputs to the sub
mixer, and the current assignment of the sub mixer output.
You can also adjust the level of the sub mix bus output
using the SUB fader in sub mixer section.
NOTE
The 2488neo has a track bounce function. This func-
tion allows you to choose and mix multiple previously
recorded track signals and record them to another
track (see "Bouncing tracks" on page 58).
When you use this function, the bounce source track
signal is sent to the sub mix bus, and this sub mix bus
signal is then sent to the bounce destination track.
When using this, the sub mix bus assignment destina-
tion is set to REC in the SUB MIXER screen shown above.
