ANALOGUE MIXDOWN FROM DIGITAL SOURCE
Here, the digital inputs to the channels are selected to go to the channel just before the insert point (replacing the
signal from the pre-amp). This mode allows for analogue mixing from a multi-track digital source using the simply
gorgeous analogue EQ on the ZED-R16.
It is also a great mode to use when overdubbing tracks, using the digital inputs for monitor & foldback purposes
whilst using the PRE-INSert digital send to do the overdub recording.
