Track direct outs are a great way to transfer tracks to a TASCAM DA series recorder or
ADAT multitrack recorder connected via R-BUS and DIF-AT to the VS-2480. You can
also route a track to an R-BUS output to digitally transfer the track’s audio to a
computer with an RPC-1 PCI card for editing or effect processing.

Routing a Pair of Tracks to a Pair of Outputs

1. Press EZ ROUTING.
2. If “OUTPUT” isn’t above F3, press PAGE repeatedly until it is.
3. Press F3 (OUTPUT)—the OUTPUT ASSIGN screen appears.
4. Press

to select the TRACK DIRECT OUT parameter.
5. Turn the TRACK DIRECT OUT parameter on—the screen changes to show track
output routing connections.
On the OUTPUT ASSIGN screen, you can route any pair of tracks to the desired
pair of outputs. The output jack and connector pairs run along the top of the screen,
and the track pairs run up and down its right edge.
6. Use

or

to select the desired pair of output jacks or digital connectors—they
become highlighted.
7. Turn the TIME/VALUE dial to choose the pair of tracks you want to route to the
selected output pair—as you turn the dial, the connection moves up and down the
display, showing you what’s currently routed to the selected pair of outputs.

Setting Up Pre or Post Track Direct Outputs

1. At the bottom right of the OUTPUT ASSIGN screen—see the previous section—
select the TRACK DIRECT SOURCE.
2. Turn the TIME/VALUE dial to select:
•

PreFader

—so that track signals are sent to outputs unaffected by the positions of
their track channel faders.
•

PostFader

—so that the tracks’ track channel faders control their output levels.
When you do this, routings between busses and outputs are de-activated, though their
connections remain in place behind the scenes.
If you prefer, you can route tracks to outputs by dragging an output pair’s connection
box down to the desired track pair with your mouse.
When the track direct outs are active, the MASTER bus can’t be routed directly to
outputs. However, you can send it into the MONITOR bus, which can be.
In this illustration, we’ve
selected R-BUS 1’s 1/2
connection.
Tracks 9 and 10 are
currently routed to R-BUS
1’s first and second digital
output channels.
