4 - Routing & assignment This section deals with the routing of signals between the different sections of the mixing console, with the assignment of channels to busses, etc. and with metering and the monitoring of the signals in the control room and studio. The DM-4800 is equipped with two types of mixer channel modules, with the first 48 fully equipped with EQ and full dynamics processing, and modules 49 through 64 being more similar to the basic return channels on a traditional recording mixer. See the table below for an explanation of the facilities provided. Note also that there are two modes for the first 48 channels-input and return modes-similar to the channel modes found on many recording mixers, allowing replay and mixing of recorded tracks without physical repatching. As with many such recording mixers, the "return" has fewer features than an input source, and these are shown in the table below.

Depending on current surround setting b. Aux 1-2 only The level of all modules is controllable via faders, and adjacent odd-even pairs of all modules can be linked (except for the stereo buss, of course). The operation of all these modules is almost identical and so they are described together here, with appropriate notes when a feature only appears on certain channel modules. • As well as the physical insert points described in "Channel inserts" on page 49, the DM-4800 also includes "soft" inserts, which allow the interconnection of internal components for more complex recording and mix situations ("Insert patching" on page 61). 58 TASCAM DM-4800 User's Manual
