Setting Up For Recording - Steinberg MR816CSX Operation Manual

■ Setting up for recording

Setting up an Audio Track
In the Project created via the project template for the
MR816 CSX/MR816 X, the input bus corresponding to the
analog input jack of the MR816 CSX/MR816 X is assigned
to the input source of each audio track. This means that
you can simply open the desired Project template and
immediately be ready to record. If you want to change the
input source of the audio track, simply use the [QUICK
CONNECT] button to change the routing between the
analog input jack and audio track.
The instructions below show how to assign the signal of
analog input jack 4 to audio track 1, using an example in
which "Steinberg MR816CSX multi channel recording" or
"Steinberg MR816X multi channel recording" is selected
as a Project template. This operation described below
basically applies also when selecting other audio tracks.
1
When you want to change the assignment of the
input signal within a Project, select the desired
audio track.
If you select an audio track already assigned to one
of the analog input jacks, the lamp of the corre-
sponding number will flash for a while instead of
being lit continuously. In the setting example above,
the [QUICK CONNECT] lamp 1 will flash.
2
On the MR816 CSX/MR816 X, press the [QUICK
CONNECT] button (corresponding to 4).
The [QUICK CONNECT] lamp 4 flashes for a while
then lights. The [QUICK CONNECT] lamp 1 will turn
off instead of being lit continuously, indicating that
MIC/LINE INPUT jack 4 is assigned to the input bus
of audio track 1.
Turned off.
TIP
Automatic routing of the audio track via the [QUICK
CONNECT] button
Pressing any of the [QUICK CONNECT] buttons with a
certain audio track(s) selected will assign the audio sig-
nal of the corresponding input jack to the selected
audio track(s) through the VST input bus. When the VST
input bus is not set, the input bus will be created and
assigned to the selected audio track automatically by
pressing the [QUICK CONNECT] button. If you press
one of the [QUICK CONNECT] buttons when the corre-
sponding audio signal is specified to multiple buses, the
bus created at the top line of the VST Connections win-
dow (called up via [Devices] ➝ [VST Connections]) will
be assigned to the selected track(s).
Pressing the [QUICK CONNECT] button 1 while multiple
audio tracks are selected will assign the bus to which
the audio signal of analog input jack 1 is specified to all
the selected tracks.
Press the [QUICK CONNECT] button.
If desired, you can change the input jack assigned to
the current track by pressing any other [QUICK CON-
NECT] button any time (except for during actual record-

ing). For example, if microphone is connected to the
MIC/LINE/HI-Z jack (input channel 1) and a synthesizer
is connected to the MIC/LINE jack (input channel 2),
you can easily change the input source by pressing
[QUICK CONNECT] buttons 1 or 2 alternately with the
same audio track selected.
