• Feeding external hardware FX processors such as reverbs
Any output you configure as a mirror output will trump that particular output from the DAW. e.g. If you are using ADAT output 1 in a
mirror route, any signal you attempt to route out of ADAT output 1 in the DAW will not work until you remove ADAT output 1 from use
as a mirror route - select 'No Route' to remove your mirror route.
For analogue and digital input channels, at 44.1/48 kHz, you can configure each mirror route to be pre or post fader. At 88.2 kHz and
above, all mirror routes are pre fader.
Mirror out routes made from aux or monitor busses are always post fader.
Please note - each output configured as a mirror route can only be used once. You cannot route multiple inputs to the same mirror
output.
9. MIX ROUTES OFF
Engaging the MIX ROUTE OFF button will prevent the signal from a particular channel from entering the SSL 18 Mixer altogether, and
therefore prevent it being routed to the monitor or aux busses.
For Input channels - the signal will still be sent into the DAW regardless of MIX ROUTES OFF being engaged.
For Playback Return channels 1-2 & 3-4 - enabling MIX ROUTES OFF will prevent any audio sent from the DAW or audio playback
software on 'Outs 1-2' and 'Outs 3-4' from reaching physical Outputs 1-2 and 3-4. This is because playback streams 1-2 and 3-4
always pass through the SSL 18 Mixer at their final stage before reaching the physical outputs.
For Playback Return channels 7-8 & 9-10 - enabling MIX ROUTES OFF will prevent audio sent from the DAW or audio playback
