Input Mixer Default

Assignment

You may have noticed that, after making a new recording, you can still hear your live microphones or other sources that are still plugged in. Or, you may hear sources that are connected to inputs, even though you haven’t recorded a track. The reason for this is that each channel of the Input Mixer is automatically routed to the stereo master mix. This is the default setting when a new song is created. Any source connected to an INPUT jack in to the VS-1824 is routed to the main stereo output. To change this setting, follow the procedure below.

1.Press the Input SELECT button for each input being used.

2.Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the cursor to the MIX section in the screen. Or, press

[F1 (MIX)]. If “MIX” does not appear above [F1], press [PAGE] until you see “MIX” above [F1], and then press [F1 (MIX)].

3.Use the TIME/VALUE dial to change the Mix Assign Switch—located above the pan knob in the display—to “Off.”

Mix Assign Switch

When this is set to “On”, the source at each Input channel is assigned directly to the MIX bus. Set this to “On” when you simply want to mix an input without actually recording it.

4.Press [PLAY(DISPLAY)] to return to the Playlist display.
