Record Status
Recording basic tracks onto a blank multitrack tape is the starting point! In the record
mode, with the RECORD status button selected, the various elements in the module
signal paths are connected as shown below.
This will be the preferred recording mode for most engineers. If you have previously
been using an SL4000 system, note that RECORD status on the SL9000 is equivalent to
RECORD + VCA to MONITORS (FADER REVERSE on Ultimation and G+ consoles)
status.
The Large Faders are much more useful if used as monitor faders during recording, as
they can, if required, be automated for end-of-the-day monitor mixes.
The upper section of the diagram shows the ‘Channel’ signal path whilst the lower
part shows the ‘Monitor’ signal path. The Channel signal path is that path which
originates from the Channel Input section of the I/O module. The Monitor signal is
derived from the Monitor Input section.
