Direct out post-ADC
This new option allows the direct output signal to be
immediately post the A-D converter.
Press the
OPTIONS
key and select the
PREFERENCES
screen:
The
Direct Out Mode:Post ADC
option allows you to set
the pick-off point after the A-D converter.
An example of where this might be particularly use-
ful is when you are making a live recording. If a
microphone is plugged into mic input 1, and you
have selected the post ADC option you can split the
recording and the live mix of this signal in the fol-
lowing way:
Press channel 1’s
SEL
key, followed by the on-screen
DIRECT OUT
button for channel 1. This sends the post-
ADC direct out signal to the multitrack recorder
(assuming that all the patching, etc. is configured
appropriately). For the live mix, channel 1 is set as an
input fed by M/L 1, and assigned to the stereo buss.
Now whatever changes you make to the channel do
not affect what goes to multitrack.
Obviously, the signal feeding the multitrack is dry,
and if you want to use any effects such as compres-
sor, reverb, etc. while recording, you will have to use
an analog insert loop.
This feature is also useful in the studio, where the
post ADC direct outputs can feed the multitrack, and
the tape return signals return to the channels, which
are set as returns, rather than as inputs. This saves the
use of Aux 1-2 as a tape return path, and frees up the
aux sends for use as multiple cue mixes and effect
sends.
