Combining Input Channels (Make Stereo)
Pairs of mono Input Channels can be combined to make ste-
reo channels, whose left and right sides are then controlled by
one input channel strip.
Stereo Input Channel in the Inputs page
Combined Input Channels are shown in the patchbay as left
and right sides of the Input Channel name. FX Returns are al-
ways stereo, so they cannot be combined or split.
