Input Paths
For tracks that are playing back material from their own Edit Playlist, no
input routing is necessary. Tracks that are receiving input from other sources
will need to have their inputs set accordingly.
When modifying or setting up tracks for mixing, pay particular attention to the
Audio Input Path selector settings for the following types of tracks:
▪ Auxiliary Input tracks
▪ Instrument tracks
▪ Audio tracks used for internal mixdown or bounce destinations
For Auxiliary Input tracks and Instrument tracks, the Audio Input Path
selector is often used to route audio from an available input source
connection on the system. For internal mixdown on Audio tracks, the Input
Path selector is often used to route audio from an internal bus. (See Lesson
10, “Finishing Your Work,” for more information on setting up an internal
mixdown.)
The following diagram shows how the Audio Input Path selector for an
Auxiliary Input track corresponds to the input connectors of an Mbox used to
route live input from a synthesizer.
