Routing tutorial
These powerful routing features are probably best demonstrated with a real-world scenario. Let’s pretend that the Hilo is being used
for a recording session, where a keyboard part is being overdubbed on an existing project. The pre-recorded tracks are streaming
through the USB Play 1&2 channels in the computer.
For cable connections, the keyboard signal is coming in
LINE INPUTS
1&2. The recording engineer is listening to the
MONITOR
OUTPUTS
feeding speakers in the control room. The performer is listening to headphones plugged into Hilo’s
PHONES
jack.
Let’s start by setting levels for the recording engineer. Start by selecting “Line Out” as the active Output:
We already have signal from USB Play 1&2 carrying the streams from the computer. Now let’s add Line In as a source so there is the
new keyboard parts along with the existing tracks.
The keyboard level is a bit hot compared to the mix. Let’s attenuate the Line In signal by 10dB.
Now let’s pull up the Phones Out to adjust the performer’s levels. Again, USB Play 1&2 is pre-assigned as a source.
