Multitrack Inputs: These eight inputs link directly to the Fusion’s hard
disk recorder. You can use these inputs to record things like live
instruments (guitars, bass, drums, etc.) as well as mixers, CD players,
turntables, and more. Note that you need to plug in a line level signal
into these inputs and many instruments (condenser microphones, guitars,
turntables, etc.) will require a preamplifier to bring the signal up to line
level before you can record into the Fusion.
The inputs can be switched between -10 and +4 dB to accommodate all
kinds of gear ranging from “consumer” to “professional” grade (see
page 202 for more on this). The internal recorder captures audio at a
sampling rate of 44.1k with 24-bit audio fidelity letting you make
extremely high quality recordings without any additional gear.
