Return 1-4 [DL32R]
Below is a look at the DL32R return 1-4 channel strips. The return channels control the level and DSP from
the USB drives. These operate slightly dierently the channel strips; let’s nd out how.
To get here, ick or drag left anywhere in the mixer view swipe zone until the return channels appear.
The dierences between the input channel strips and return channel strips are noted below. Channel 32
was left in the image on purpose to easily see the side-by-side dierence between an input channel strip
and the return channel strips.
48V / Gain — By default, 48V and gain on the return channels
is absent from the input routing view for these two channels.
However, the source and trim will still be displayed and input
routing may still be accessed in order to update channel and
aux send assignments.
48V and gain WILL be visible on the return
channels’ input routing view IF a mic pre
is sent to the returns via the I/O patch.
More about I/O patching on pages 164-175.
No High-Pass / Low-Pass Filters — There are no high-pass or
low-pass lters on the return channels, so they will be absent
in the EQ view for these channels.
One Gain Reduction Meter — Compressors are available on
the return channels, but not gates, so a single gain reduction
meter will be displayed instead of two.
Stereo Meters — Because the the return channels are stereo
linked by default, the meters are shown in stereo, not mono.
The default setting are dual stereo return channels [return 1-2 and return 3-4]. However, these
may be unlinked to make up to four separate mono return channels. This is ideal for isolating
click tracks and backing tracks, for example. In this example, the drummer would receive the
click track and backing tracks, while the rest of the band and audience would hear only the
backing tracks.
Unlinking the return channels is easy. After tapping the return Channel ID button, you will see an option
to “Unlink Return x and Return x”. Tap it! A popover will display asking you to conrm. Follow the same
steps outlined above to link the return channels.
More information about the return channels may be found in the recording and playback sec-
tion, pages 176-191.
