Post fader is the most appropriate mode to use for the
following tasks:
•
Riding levels to “tape” or “disk” when tracking (especially
when microphone levels are hot)
•
Processing line level signals via the insert and “printing back”

The second mode – PRE INSERTrequirestherstswitchinthe
direct output routing section to be in the DOWN position.
The direct output is now taken PRE INSERT and PRE FADER.

This mode is useful when you want to take a “clean feed” during
tracking, yet still monitor your signal with processing via the insert
and set balances in real time, perhaps for headphone mix purposes
with the processed signal on aux sends or the channel fader.
This mode also provides extra gain during tracking via the
channel trim control – a convenient place to ride levels and
arguably a cleaner way of gain staging as opposed to varying
themicrophonepreampliergainduringatake.
The third mode – PRE FADERrequiresthesecondswitchinthe
direct output routing section to be in the DOWN position.
The PRE FADER mode is useful when you want to take a pre
fader record output with the addition of extra gain from the trim
section and perhaps some processing (dynamics perhaps) on
the insert.
Pre fader routing may be the most useful if you are using the
console faders to set a monitor balance and therefore do not
want to have the faders affecting your recording levels.
In this mode signal at the direct output is taken POST INSERT
but PRE FADER.
