Input Channel Signals and the Main Mix
Removing Input Channel Signals from the Main Mix
When you create a new project, the VS-2480’s input channels are routed into the
MASTER mix to help ensure that you can easily hear their signals even before you
route them to tracks. Once you have routed them to tracks, and recorded their signals, it
can be a good idea to remove them from the main mix. When you play back your
project, you’ll be able to hear your tracks without also hearing unwanted audio coming
through your input channels.
The idea is to remove the input channel’s signal from the MASTER mix. This method
spares you from having to disconnect the input signal’s source from the VS-2480 or
lowering its input channel fader in case you’ll want to send it back into the mix later on.
Removing Input Signals from the MASTER Mix
Press the desired IN 1-16 or IN 17-24/AUX MST button to select the group of channels
containing the input channel you want to remove from the mix.
1. Press the desired input channel’s CH EDIT button—the input channel’s CH EDIT
VIEW screen appears.
2. Turn MIX (Page 154) off.
3. Press the CH EDIT button for any input channel you’ve routed to a track and turn
its MIX parameter off.
Adding an Input Channel’s Signal to the Main Mix
If you need to add an input channel back into the mix after having
de-activated its send to the MASTER bus, it here’s how.
Sending an Input Channel’s Signal into the Main Mix
1. Press the desired IN 1-16 or IN 17-24/AUX MST button.
2. Press the channel’s CH EDIT button.
3. Turn the channel’s MIX parameter on (Page 154).
Routing an Input Channel Signal to a Direct Bus
To route an input channel’s signal into the MASTER mix:
1. Press the desired IN 1-16 or IN 17-24/AUX MST button.
2. Press the channel’s CH EDIT button.
3. Turn on the desired Direct bus’s on/off switch (Page 156).
If you have live mics connected to inputs, you may experience feedback from monitor
speaker or headphone signals leaking into the mics. Taking the input channels out of
the main mix is a good way to avoid this problem.
