When you change recorder inputs 1–8 to "DIR
1"–"DIR 8," the signals of input channels 1–8
will be sent (without passing through buses 1–8)
to tracks 1–8 as shown in the diagram below. This
method is useful when you want to record the
sounds of individual instruments directly on
tracks without mixing them with other instru-
ments.

Tip!
If you have selected "DIR 1"–"DIR 8," you can choose
either the pre-EQ signal or the pre-fader signal as the
signal that will be sent to the recorder input. This
selection is made in the UTILITY screen Prefer.1 page
( P.264).
