Recording and monitoring tracks 17-24 requires different settings than tracks 1-16.
Remember that AUX 1-2 is still our tape return path for tracks 1-16. This leaves
the first 16 channels available for us to use for our input sources. For this example,
use channels 1-8 as your input channels. Use busses 1-8 to buss those signals to
tracks 17-24. Channels 17-24 will be the tape return path for tracks 17-24 however,
since we are still using AUX 1-2 as our monitoring source we need to
set up pre fader aux 1-2 send levels for channels 17-24. This will allow us to
monitor all 24 tracks simultaneously. We will not assign channels 17-24 to the
stereo buss until we are ready to mix.
