Input Channel Signals and the Main Mix
Removing Input Channel Signals from the Main Mix
When you create a new project, the VS-2400CD's input channels are routed into the
MASTER mix to help ensure that you can easily hear their signals even before you
route them to tracks. Once you have routed them to tracks, and recorded their signals,
it can be a good idea to remove them from the main mix. When you play back your
project, you'll be able to hear your tracks without also hearing unwanted audio coming
through your input channels.
If you have live mics connected to inputs, you may experience feedback from monitor
speaker or headphone signals leaking into the mics. Taking the input channels out of
the main mix is a good way to avoid this problem.
The idea is to remove the input channel's signal from the MASTER mix. This method
spares you from having to disconnect the input signal's source from the VS-2400CD or
lowering its input channel fader in case you'll want to send it back into the mix later on.
