I know that channel 7 & 8 are stereo inputs for fx returns etc and the signal goes right to the master fader...But 5 & 6 have selectable inputs that determine whether the signal comes FROM the input of 1/3 or 5 and 2/4 or 6 what I don't get is why FROM 1/3 or 2/4 channels? Instead of TO those channels. It doesn't seem to make sense to me...If you already have a track recorded on say channel 1, then why send the INPUT of that channel to 5?....(you can't send the pre-recorded track, just the input right?) and what would you do with it when it was there? It seems to make more sense that you could ASSIGN extra signals TO 1/3 or 2/4 than FROM them.....any way I have plugged my drum machine into them (5/6) and then found I could record the signal with the "buss" position on the record section on 1/2/3/4...so maybe I'm just lost in space. The manual doesn't tell anymore than what goes where...not WHY or what to do with the signal.....
Also...I understand the importance of the TAPE CUE in the monitor section (after I ruined a bunch of tracks with bleedthru) but still don't quite understand how the tracks have to be set when overdubbing. When you are recording "DIRECT" do you have to pan all the pre-recorded channels away from the incoming signal to prevent the bleedthru? Is it the same when recording with the "BUSS"?
I know that you have to use the TAPE CUE switches and TAPE CUE signal send knobs to monitor when overdubbing but....that in itself will not stop the bleedthru correct?
Just thought I would ask...cause I know you guys know on this one.....Thanks
