Open the drop-down Input menu.
Select the format of the rack you are building (e.g., mono, stereo, 5.1, 7.1). The
determines the devices, I/O channels, and formats that can be selected. It also determines which plugins you
can use, since a plugin must have a component that is compatible with the rack format.
Choose an I/O device. Only devices that can provide the requested number of I/O channels are listed.
Select the range of device channels. If there are not enough free I/O channels on this device, you'll be
presented with a list of patches that must be removed in order to make the new assignments. You can accept
the new configuration (removing certain patches) or select Cancel, which allows you to reconsider your
patching with a different device.
Set the channel format (e.g., L-C-R-S, L-CL-C-CR-LS-RS-LFE, etc.). This sets how channels in the stream
are arranged. For example, as shown above, a 5.0 channel stream can be formatted as L-C-R-Ls-Rs or L-R-C-
Ls-Rs or L-R-Ls-Rs-C.
In the example above, this is the rack's input patching:
• Channel size: 5.0
• Device: IOS #1
• I/O channels: Analog Mic/Line 4–8 (five I/O channels are allotted to the 5.0 channel size)
• Format: L-R-Ls-Rs-C (DTS format).

If your I/O selection includes I/O channels that are currently in use, you
will see this prompt. Select OK to make the new assignment and un-
assign the indicated I/O channels. Click Cancel to maintain the existing
assignments. Choose different I/O channels for the new assignment.
