2The input sound is recorded after being mixed and assigned to the respective group bus (1~4).

3The playback sound from the recorder is input back into the mixer (mix write recording, bounce recording).

4The playback sound from the recorder is output to an external component, that adds an effect, before being input back into the mixer (mix write recording, bounce recording).

This unit’s 6 channel inputs and 2 stereo return inputs are connected to group bus 1~4 and stereo bus L/R. (For group bus 1~4 use the ASSIGN keys to assign the input sound to a group bus. The channel signals are always connected to the stereo bus. In cases where you do not want to mix the signals to the stereo bus, lower the faders for the respective channels to “0”.)

When monitoring, you can select group bus 1-2, group bus 3-4, stereo bus, or TRACK 1~4 OUTPUT (CUE bus).

For details on how to monitor, see “Monitoring Example” (page 15).
