12—Working with Input Channels

Routing an Input Channel Signal to a Track

When you've routed a signal to a track for recording, the signal can be recorded on the
track's currently selected V-Track. To learn more about V-Tracks, see Page 85.
You can route an input signal to a track in any of three ways in the VS-2400CD:
•
•
•
While the following sections describe routing single input channels and tracks, linked
input channels and tracks behave just like their unlinked counterparts during routing.
You can save any routing you create as an EZ Routing template. See Chapter 22 to learn
about EZ Routing templates.
When an Input Channel is Routed to a Track
When the track is record-enabled or recording—so its TRACK STATUS buttons is
flashing red or lit solidly red—the VS-2400CD automatically removes the input
channel's signal from the MASTER bus. This prevents your hearing the signal through
the input channel and the track's channel at the same time. When you record, you'll
hear only the track channel so you know what the track is "hearing" and thus what it'll
record.
As soon as the track is set to play back or turned off—so its TRACK STATUS button is
green or unlit, respectively—the VS-2400CD returns the input channel's signal to the
MASTER bus. If you don't want to hear the input signal, and don't want to unplug its
source or lose its fader setting, you can remove it from the mix manually—see Page 169.

Quick-Routing Input Channels to Tracks

Quick Routing begins with the selection of the desired destination track—once you've
selected the track, you route the desired signal to it. In Quick Routing mode, the
TRACK STATUS buttons select a destination track and the FADER and SELECT
buttons select the source input channel signals you want to send to the track.
In Quick Routing, the CH EDIT/SELECT/AUTOMIX STATUS buttons are referred to
as simply "SELECT" buttons, since they select source signals.

•
All other FADER, SELECT and TRACK STATUS buttons flash. Route each desired
input channel to the track by pressing the input channel's SELECT button.
You can also route other tracks, Aux busses and FX return channels to tracks using
Quick Routing.

You can use the fast and easy Quick Routing mode, described below.
You can route the signal to the track on the EZ ROUTING VIEW screen (Page 168).
You can also route a signal to a track right from within its input channel using the
CH EDIT ASSIGN screen, as described on Page 161.
One FADER button lights solidly to tell you that the SELECT buttons apply to that
group of source channels—it also shows the tracks the TRACK STATUS buttons
control, as explained in the table at the top of the next page.
The TRACK STATUS button for the currently selected track channel solidly lights
to show that its track is the destination track.
The SELECT button for any channel routed to the selected track lights solidly.
