6. Recording
6 of 10
Page 7
In order to record the emulated signal,you must choose the following routing scheme.
!
For Discrete 4/8:
Choose EMU MIC with the corresponding channels for the mic inputs. This way you will record the processed signal with
the loaded emulation. You can also choose a mix on emulated and dry preamp signal, with a combination of a couple of
channels (Emu and Preamp)
Zen Tour, Orion Studio 2017, Goliath, Goliath HD
Inside the routing tab, there is a strip: Emulated Mic, which corresponds to the physical inputs where you can connect the
mic.
In order to record the emulations, just drag and drop the channels you are using from the Emulated Mic strip, to the
Record strip (dependent on the type of communication – USB or Thunderbolt).
Again, you can record dry and wet signal with a combination of the Emulated mic channels!
and the physical input
channels.
