How Element Control Input Channels appear in your Recording Program:

The Analog Input Channels of Element Control allow

you to select the type of input you are using: Mic,

Instrument, or Line Level +4dBu/-10dBV.

You may activate phantom power (48V) for condenser

mics, Group (G) channels together in stereo pairs, turn

on Soft-Limit (SL), or invert the polarity (⌀) of any of

these input channels.

In your recording program, any audio track you create

can be set to record these Analog Inputs.

In this example Logic Pro X project, four audio tracks

have been created with each track set to Input 1, 2, 3,

and 4 respectively. In this way, each Element 46

interface audio Input Channel corresponds with the

four tracks created in Logic Pro X.

You can think of your audio signal as flowing from the

analog inputs of your Element interface, through the

Element Control software’s Analog Input Channels,

then into the Logic software.

Note: With the Audio Device control feature in Logic

Pro, you can see that the settings made on these Input

Channels in Element Control are matched/mirrored by

the Audio Device section of the Logic Pro X mixer



The audio signal then flows through these Logic tracks

until it eventually exits through the Logic Output

channels.

From there the signal flows back into the Element

Control software:
