Because the ADAT has normalled inputs, the stereo output of the source mixer may be recorded on other tracks without repatching. The left output of the mixer will appear at the inputs of tracks 1, 3, 5 & 7; the right output will appear at track 2, 4, 6 & 8. On the ADAT-XT, press and hold [ANALOG INPUT] and the REC READY keys for track 1 or 2 to activate this "built-in patch bay" feature.

2.Plug track outputs 1-8 of the ADAT to LINE IN 1-8 of the "monitor/mixdown" 12R. Note that output 1 is on the left of the ADAT, but on the right of the mixer, so the wires must cross over.

3.To record more than two tracks at a time, plug a mono cable from the INSERT jack of any channels of the mixer to the input of any track. By plugging the cable all the way in the INSERT jack, and not returning the signal from the recorder, the individual channels will be removed from the stereo mix. This way, you can record a stereo mix of several inputs on any two tracks while simultaneously recording individual sources on other tracks.
