System signal paths
Depending on the track types in the sequencer, the default signal chain varies. In this section we’re going to describe
the default audio signal paths for Audio Tracks and Instrument Tracks.
Audio Track signal paths
When you’re recording and playing back audio that originates from an external source, like a guitar or a vocalist, the
audio signal must first travel from the source, via a hardware audio interface, into the Record application. Then, when
played back, the audio travels from the Record application, via the hardware audio interface, to a speaker system or
similar. The figure below shows a schematic overview of the audio signal paths for a “standard” auto-routed Audio
Track in Record:
