Where is the best place to plug in my recording devices?
For a multi-track recording there are two place that are ideal for feeding the inputs of the device. The Direct Outs for each channel are post-fader; post EQ, impedance balanced outputs. Feed one of these outs into each track on the recorder and take the outputs of the recorder and put them into the Tape Returns. In this instance the 8 bus is used as an in line console. The Flip switch will allow you to toggle between the input signal that is in the channel and the playback that is in the Tape Return jack. The Submaster Tape Outputs are triple bussed (See question #6). These outputs correspond to each of the 8 Subgroups. It would be to your advantage to use these jacks if you are assigning multiple instruments to one track on the recorder. A group of choir microphones, or drum microphones, can be assigned and isolated to one Subgroup using the assign switches and the pan knob. When using this input method, you can either bring playback into the tape returns, or into the channel through
