I just have a quick question regarding signal routing on the Mackie CR-1604.
A good friend of mine passed away recently and he left me most of the equipment that he had in his home studio. Among the pieces I now have set up in my own home studio are a Tascam TSR-8 reel to reel recorder and the Mackie CR-1604. Unfortunately I don't know much about the Mackie mixer.
I want to route the output of tracks 1-8 from the Tascam to channels 9-16 of the Mackie so I will have channels 1-8 recording into the Tascam and channels 9-16 for the playback of the 8 tracks from the Tascam. How do I do this? Do I use the "Channel Access" jacks? If so how would I end up with the pre-recorded tracks playing through channels 9-16? Or do I use the output jacks for channels 9-16? This makes more sense to me but I don't know if that would work by just pushing the 1/4" plugs into just the "tip" point.
I know this is an easy thing I'm asking about but I really don't know anything about this mixer. My friend always operated it when we were recording. I wanted to study all the cord inputs and outputs when I was breaking down his studio after his passing but I was given a limited amount of time so I had no choice but to just rip the cords out and worry about it later (now).
Thanks to anyone who can help me out.
