How Element Control Input Channels appear in your Recording Program:

The Analog Input Channels of Element Control allow
you to select the type of input you are using: Mic,
Instrument, or Line Level +4dBu/-10dBV.
You may activate phantom power (48V) for condenser
mics, Group (G) channels together in stereo pairs, turn
on Soft-Limit (SL), or invert the polarity (⌀) of any of
these input channels.
In your recording program, any audio track you create
can be set to record these Analog Inputs.
In this example Logic Pro X project, four audio tracks
have been created with each track set to Input 1, 2, 3,
and 4 respectively. In this way, each Element 46
interface audio Input Channel corresponds with the
four tracks created in Logic Pro X.
You can think of your audio signal as flowing from the
analog inputs of your Element interface, through the
Element Control software's Analog Input Channels,
then into the Logic software.
Note: With the Audio Device control feature in Logic
Pro, you can see that the settings made on these Input
Channels in Element Control are matched/mirrored by
the Audio Device section of the Logic Pro X mixer.
The audio signal then flows through these Logic tracks
until it eventually exits through the Logic Output
channels.
From there the signal flows back into the Element
Control software:
