Input to Track Routing

The 788T offers a great deal of routing fl exibility. Any input can be routed to any track. With this
powerful routing, iso tracks and sub-mixes can be recorded simultaneously.
Input to track routing is managed from any of four screens/controls:
• the Input Settings Window,
• the Setup Menu
• the Track Setup Window, or
• from an attached CL-8 (only tracks L, R, X1, and X2 can be routed from the CL-8).
Tracks are destinations for inputs, they can be routed to outputs and/or selected for recording.

Pre-Fade vs. Post Fade

Inputs can be assigned to tracks either pre- or post-fade. Pre-fade tracks are fed the respective input's
audio signal immediately following the Trim level stage of the signal path. Fader adjustments have
no effect on pre-fade Tracks.
Post-fade tracks are fed the respective input's audio signal immediately following the Fader level
stage of the signal path. Fader levels can be adjusted from negative infi nity (off) to +15 dB of gain,
relative to the Trim level. Fader adjustments do affect the audio signal sent to post-fade tracks.
Without a CL-8 attached and with the front panel gain controls set to Trim Controls, fader levels are
fi xed at unity gain.

Routing Using the Input Settings Window

The Input to Track Routing in the Input Settings Window allows the user to quickly view and edit
the input-to-track routing for the selected input. The highlighted selections indicate the tracks that
the input is currently routed to. In order to record, tracks must be record enabled in the Track Setup
Menu.
