Routing Effects to Tracks
You can route an FX return channel’s stereo output to a pair of linked tracks or to a
single track in order to record the effect, alone or mixed with any signal(s) it’s
processing. The FX return channel’s FADER parameter sets the effect’s recording level.
An FX return channel’s stereo output is routed as a single connection, with a single
“wire” you can connected to a pair of linked tracks. If you route an FX return channel to
a single track, it’s recorded as a mono signal containing both its left and right sides.
Quick Routing an FX Return Channel
1. Make sure the CH EDIT button isn’t lit—if it is, press the button to un-light it.
2. Hold down either destination track channel’s TRACK/STATUS button for a second
or so until the QUICK ROUTING screen appears.
The TRACK/STATUS button you pressed in Step 1 lights solidly to show the linked
tracks you’ve chosen as the stereo destination for your effect. If any input channels
or FX processors are already routed to the tracks, their buttons also light solidly.
3. To route FX 1 to Tracks 17 and 18, press the FX Return Channel 1’s FX 1 button—a
virtual wire appears on the screen to show the connection you’ve made.
4. If you want to break the connection, press FX 1 again.
You can add an effect to tracks you’re bouncing by routing its FX return channel’s
output to your bounce destination track or track pair—see Page 195.
In the following sections, we explain how to route an FX return channel’s stereo output
to a pair of tracks. Use the same steps to route an effect in mono to a single track.
To quickly clear all of the QUICK ROUTING screen’s connections, press F4 (AllClr).

TRACK/STATUS button
for linked Track 17.
Tracks 17 and 18 are
flashing to show they’re
selected as our
destination.
FX Return Channels 1-6
(No optional effect
boards are installed, so
FX 3-6 are grayed-out.)
The gray arrows at the
left edge of the screen
show the direction in
which signal flows. When
you’re recording effects
onto tracks, signal flows
up from the FX return
channels to the hard disk
recorder tracks.
