Hi @corper,
It sounds like you are patching only to input channels and each input channel can only be sourced from one socket at a time.
So if you are wanting to use local inputs sockets for the mix, record these to SQ-Drive (or USB-B) and then possibly patch these back to input channels for playback here are a couple of pointers:
For recording, source inputs from the local channels, you can then use Direct Outputs to route outputs from some point in the signal path (by Global Direct Out source) to USB output sockets.
For playback, store the local inputs as an input channel patch library (press library key when in ‘I/O > Inputs > Input Channel’) then re-patch USB (input sockets now) to your input processing channels and store as another library. This way, your ‘live’ or ‘recording’ patch can be quickly switched to your ‘playback’ patch quickly without re-patching each time.
There are a few other settings, and you could also use Tie Lines to route input sockets directly to USB for recording too, but the main concept here is that you have 32 output sockets for USB and a separate 32 input sockets that you can make use of.
Cheers,
Keith.
