About insert effect connections

You can select any of the following connection patterns for
the insert effects.

INPUT 1–INPUT 8, INPUT 1/2–INPUT 7/8,
INPUT 1-8, INPUT MIX (NORMAL):

This setting inserts the effect into the corresponding input channel(s).
This is the standard connection pattern, and it allows you to monitor and
record performances after they have passed through the insert effects.

INPUT 1–INPUT 8, INPUT 1/2–INPUT 7/8,
INPUT 1-8, INPUT MIX (REC DRY):

This setting also inserts the effect into the corresponding input
channel(s). Although you’ll be able to monitor your input
sources after they’ve passed through the insert effects with this
type of connection, the corresponding performances will be
recorded dry—in other words, without the insert effects being
applied. After recording these dry performances, you will then
be able to experiment with different effects on your tracks to
find out which ones best suit the overall sound of your song.

TRACK 1–TRACK 8, TRACK 1/2–TRACK 15/16,
TRACK 1-8, TRACK 9-16:

This setting inserts the effect into the corresponding tracks.
You can use this type of connection to apply insert effects to
the playback from the selected tracks.

MASTER:

This setting inserts the effect in the Master output. With this
type of connection, you can adjust the sound of the complete
song during mix-down, apply special acoustic effects, and
process the final output sound in many other ways.
The available types of connection will depend on the current
Input Select condition and on the algorithm that is used in
the currently selected effect patch.

When connecting to inputs:

If the Input Select condition is changed immediately after
Song New is performed, the underlined connections will be
automatically selected.

When connecting to the Track output:

When connecting to the Master channel output:

Although the Master channel output is always available for
selection, in the case of the 8CH COMP EQ algorithm, only
CH1 and CH2 are connected to the corresponding left
channel and right channel, respectively.

Whenever you insert effects into Track 1 through 8 or Track
1/2 through 15/16, the audio will pass through these
effects between the compressors and equalizers (p. 108).
