I/O patch on DL1608 and DL806
The I/O patch on the DL1608 and DL806 allow you to choose which signals you wish to record.
The horizontal rows are the sources [Main L Pre-Fader and Main R Pre-Fader by default] and the
two vertical columns [iPad L and iPad R] are the destinations...the goal here is to connect a source
to a destination. If you need more information regarding the recording on the DL1608 and DL806,
please refer to pages 192-194. When rst opened, the I/O patch will look something like this:
DL1608 / DL806 sources:
• Mic Pre 1-16 [DL1608] / Mic Pre 1-8 [DL806]
• Input 1-16, post-DSP [DL1608] / Input 1-8, post-DSP [DL806]
• iPad L/R, FX post-DSP
• Main L/R pre-fader
• Main L/R
• Sub 1-4
• Aux 1-6 [DL1608] / Aux 1-4 [DL806]
• FX send 1-2
Scroll down to view the other sources by dragging up anywhere in the black area until you see a pair
of balls, one hanging a little lower than the other. [See image above right]. These balls indicate that the
iPad L and iPad R are currently set up to record the signals from the main L/R pre-fader (again, by default).
So how does one change the patching? Well, for starters you have to make sure
that the source is in view. Once visible, just tap the crosshairs where it meets with
the desired destination, be it iPad L or iPad R. The horizontal and vertical lines will
illuminate, as well as the text. Additionally, the I/O patch ball will grow ‘n glow.
This is how to select a destination for each source. You may also tap an existing ball
to make it disappear and remove a patch.
Changes made to the I/O patch are stored in snapshots. This means
you can easily change the patching for dierent snapshots and shows.
More information about snapshots and shows may be found on pages
197-204.
