This hookup diagram demonstrates how you can do a live multitrack recording using the DIRECT OUTs. The DIRECT OUTs provide an analog balanced direct output for each channel, post-EQ.

Aux Send 1 is used for stage monitors, and Aux Sends 3 and 4 are a stereo pair driving an IEM system. Aux Sends 5/6 and 7/8 could provide two more stereo sends for IEM systems.
