4.0: CONSOLE ROUTING
Understanding the facilities a console offers for routing and controlling audio is an important step in
learning how to operate the Notepad console most effectively.

and routing options for all channel and bus types. If you have never operated a similar console before,
it is worth digesting all these options before you use the console in a critical application.
In simple terms, audio signals generally move through a mixing console from the back to the front and
from the left to the right. Output signals then leave the mixing console from the back right of the surface.
