I’m trying to use stereo channels for inputs that are not hard patched next to each other, ie in different stage boxes. Once I patch the channels in the IO page, it defaults to L/R in consecutive sockets. Is there anyway to patch stereo channel inputs to non-consecutive sockets? I’m using ganging right now to get around it.
No – ganging is the way to achieve this.
As stereo input channels control both input sockets at once, they should be used with a stereo pair of the same type from the same ‘box’.
For this reason, stereo input channels (and stereo mix external inputs) can only be sourced from an odd/even socket pair.
