Each of these workstations positions the surround mix through either the output bus
path or the auxiliary buses. These outputs are typically routed to a multichannel
digital mastering deck (e.g., ADAT or DA-88, etc.). However, in order to have
consistent levels feeding the multitrack recorder that do not affect your overall
monitoring/listening levels, it may be desirable to route the outputs of the multitrack
recorder back through another set of grouped input faders on the console and route
them to a separate set of output buses to your monitoring system. See Figure 4-4.
