11—Input and Track Channel Tools

Input channel and track channels offer almost exactly the same parameters with which
you can shape their signals. This chapter describes these “CH EDIT” parameters,
named for the button you press to view them. They have their own chapter since they’re
the main tools you use to make your input signals and tracks sound the way you want.

Viewing a CH EDIT Screen

To view the CH EDIT parameters for an input channel or track channel:
1. Press the desired FADER button (Page 137).
2. Press the desired channel’s CH EDIT button.
3. To view a specific CH EDIT screen whose F button is currently:
•

visible

—press the screen’s F button.
•

hidden

—press PAGE, and then press the screen’s F button.

Introduction to the CH EDIT Screens

There are six CH EDIT parameter screens for input channels and track channels.
The two sets of screens are identical except for the input channels’ P.BAY screen and
the track channels’ ASSIGN screen.

How the CH EDIT Screens Are Organized

All of the CH EDIT screens have three sections. The top and bottom sections are always
available as you move from CH EDIT screen to CH EDIT screen. When you select a new
CH EDIT screen, it’s the contents of the middle area that change. This chapter devotes a
section to each CH EDIT screen, or—more precisely—what you’ll find in the middle
section of each screen.
Input channel CH EDIT settings affect how a signal will be recorded. Track channel CH
EDIT changes affect only how the hard disk recorder plays a track, and are therefore
less permanent. If you’re not sure about a change you’re thinking of making to a signal
you’re about to record, make the changes in its track channel.
Though this chapter discusses working with the CH EDIT parameters from the CH
EDIT screens, you can also control any CH EDIT parameter using the PAN/AUX 1-8
knobs’ USER feature (Page 141).
FX return channels have their own CH EDIT parameters. However, they’re a bit
different than the CH EDIT parameters discussed here—you can learn about them in
Chapter 17.
