Having this option on separate driver channels allows you to record the same source with and
without processing at the same time, if you wish . That way you can use the on-board process-
ing for creative sound shaping and record a raw backup on a separate track, in case you decide
otherwise .
If you don’t intend to record sources with processing included, you can simply uncheck the
Post-FX entries . Conversely, if you like to record processed signals only, you can uncheck the
unprocessed inputs and only select their Post FX counterparts .
•
Built-in Mic
– activate this only if you intend to record the Talkback Mic in your session .
Deactivating this entry does not deactivate the Talkback function as such . Please note: Input
4 is shared with the Built-in Talkback . Connecting an instrument or line source to Input 4
will deactivate the built-in Talkback (channel 5) .
•
Bus Return Mix 1/2/3/4
– This allows you to record the output of one (or more) of the inter-
nal mixers, including signal processing in the input channels and even the reverb effect . A
typical use case would be streaming . For instance, you could plug in a vocal microphone
and a guitar for a musical performance, apply EQ, Dynamics and Reverb and plug in another
microphone for the show host, without Reverb . Routing Bus Return Mix 1/2/3/4 to your
streaming application, your listeners will hear the entire mix, including effects .
Please note: It is a good idea to uncheck any channels you are not going to use . This
gives you a cleaner workflow in your recording software .

DAW1
,
DAW2
,
DAW3
and
DAW4
are stereo channels from your computer software to the MT 48 .
Per default, DAW1 and DAW2 are activated . These channels appear as stereo channel strips in
your MT 48 Mixer . This allows you to create monitoring mixes with the live inputs balanced
against the DAW signal . DAW1 is also where you receive system sounds and the audio output
from consumer software such as media players .
Having more than one DAW channel in your mixer is handy for many applications:
