Routing controls unclear #15

Closed ericjmcd closed 3 years ago

ericjmcd commented 3 years ago

Thanks for creating this! I've been using it for about a year and it's saved me from dealing with Windows.

However, I can't figure out the routing controls or how they're supposed to work. I'm trying to use channels 1-14 mixed to outputs 1-2 and then run 1-2 outputs back into 15-16 for a 'master channel' with EQ and then out to outputs 3-4 for an EQ'd final output. However, I don't understand how to set that up (i.e. I don't understand what those 8 routing settings do).

I see you're done developing this but I still think it's really useful for Linux users so I appreciate any clarification you can provide.

I found a Windows laptop to try out their software which has a nice diagram so I see that I misunderstood the possible routing. For others that might read this - the routing has 8 selections for each of the 8 1/4" outputs where you can select the input as one of the Computer outputs 1-8 or the "master" left and right channels that are the "always-connected" bus inside the tascam itself. There is no sub-mixing bus capability unless you go into a DAW and back out.
