Routing I/O Channels to Racks
A rack must be routed to an input and output I/O, whether channels from an ASIO/Core Audio driver, the console’s
expansion card, or an additional hardware device. Rack input and output routing is done in the Rack or Overview
windows.
Routing Racks Manually
Select a rack and open its Input drop-down
menu using the arrow at the top.
Choose the format of the input signal (e.g.,
mono, stereo, 5.1).
Select a device.
Select I/O channels.
Choose a stem format. Some multitrack
formats offer different streaming sequences
to meet varied delivery requirements.
In this example, Rack 1 input is five channels wide (5.0). Its patching is:
Input A, STG 1608-1, Analog mic/line channels 2-6, stream format L-R-C-Ls-Rs (ITU).
Rack outputs are routed in the same manner.
A rack’s input and output do not necessarily need to have the same number of tracks. A stereo rack input can, for
example, coexist with a 5.1 output. The rack’s L/R signal will output only from the L and R channels of the 5.1 I/O
stream. The position of the L and R channels in the 5.1 output will vary depending on the 5.1 format. If rack output is
unassigned when the input is routed, SuperRack will attempt to patch the same input and output I/O channels.
An I/O can be patched to several rack inputs. Only one rack can patch to an output I/O.
