Example LCRS Setup

The following example shows one possible way to configure the I/O Setup dialog to mix in 4‑channel LCRS format, with an HD I/O.

For additional I/O Setup information, see Output Busses.

To define an LCRS path:

1 Choose Setup > I/O, and click the Output tab.

2 Click New Path.

3 Select LCRS from the Path Format selector.
