2.4.2 Digital Returns

The last two stereo channels on the StudioLive AR mixers are hard-coded
to receive two stereo digital returns. Digital returns 1/2 are available on
the Super Channel, Digital returns 3/4 are routed to the last stereo
channel (AR8: 6/7, AR12: 11/12, AR16: 15/16). Outputs 1 through 4 in your
recording application route these playback streams to these channels on
the StudioLive (that is, the software's Outputs 1/2 always go to StudioLive
AR Super Channel and Output 3/5 always go to the last stereo channel).
Once you route a track in your recording application to play through one
of these outputs, it will always be accessible on its channel by simply
pressing the Digital Return button.
Power User Tip: It is important to think of your digital returns and your analog inputs in
the same way. When a digital return is engaged, it replaces the analog input in the mix.
You can process it in the Fat Channel, include in it Aux mixes, and send it to an FX mix.
