INPUT CHANNELS
into a DAW to develop the song further. The recorded metronome will allow
you to set the DAW’s tempo and internal metronome so that it is perfectly
aligned with the MixPre recording. For more information, see Metronome.
L Tip: If you do not have a mic handy and want to quickly record a rough scratch
track of a song idea and are not too concerned about the audio quality, you can
use the built-in mic. To do this, set Inputs>Aux In Mode to Internal Mic, then via
the Routing screen, select Aux In - Internal Mic as the input’s source, as shown in
the previous example for Track 4. Notice in the other previous screenshots how
Internal Mic is not an option for Aux In; that is because, in those examples, it is
not selected as the Aux In Mode.
Enabling Monitoring
The Monitoring feature lets you hear the live input signal during playback. This
is particularly useful when practicing along with already recorded tracks or
performing live to a backing track.
To enable monitoring:
X Enter the Channel screen, tap Monitor. The button appears orange when on,
except if input is o.
Setting the Gain
Gain sets the trim gain (pre-fader gain) for the channel. This gain determines
the signal level on the channel’s individual track—i.e. the ISO track level.
The gain range is dependant on the input type selected.
