Input to Track Routing
The 788T offers a great deal of routing fl exibility. Any input can be routed to any track. With this
powerful routing, iso tracks and sub-mixes can be recorded simultaneously.
Input to track routing is managed from any of four screens/controls:
• the Input Settings Window,
• the Setup Menu
• the Track Setup Window, or
• from an attached CL-8 (only tracks L, R, X1, and X2 can be routed from the CL-8).
• from an attached CL-9
• from the CL-WiFi application
Tracks are destinations for inputs, they can be routed to outputs and/or selected for recording.

Pre-Fade vs. Post Fade
Inputs can be assigned to tracks either pre- or post-fade. Pre-fade tracks are fed the respective input’s
audio signal immediately following the Trim level stage of the signal path. Fader adjustments have
no effect on pre-fade Tracks.
Post-fade tracks are fed the respective input’s audio signal immediately following the Fader level
stage of the signal path. Fader levels range is adjustable and is relative to the Trim level. Fader
adjustments do affect the audio signal sent to post-fade tracks. Pre- and post-fade assignments are
applied to all inputs routed to that track.
