Multitrack Recording Scenario #1
The diagram below shows the connections between a 1608 and a Digital Audio Workstation
(DAW) with 24 line inputs. The first 16 channels feed the DAW inputs 1-16 via the Channel
Direct Outputs. DAW inputs 17-24 are fed from the 1608 Summing Bus Outputs 1-8, providing
versatile assignment possibilities. If the Echo Return 500 slots are fitted with 512C
Preamplifiers or outboard preamps are fed to the Echo Return inputs, the 1608 can provide 24
independent input channels and output paths to a DAW (or other multitrack recorder).
This scenario requires the engineer to sum the recorded channels to a mix within the DAW and
output this mix for monitoring. The diagram below this mix returns to the Program Bus Mix
Inputs. The signal from these jacks is routed to the 1608 Program Bus by assigning the
corresponding Summing Bus Masters to the Left and Right Program Bus on the 168B module.
This allows the DAW mix to feed the Program Bus Inserts and Master Fader.
NOTE: This scenario requires the use of a pair of Summing Bus Masters to return the stereo mix
to the Program Bus. If used for this purpose, the selected Summing Buses cannot be used as
multitrack sends.
