\n> I've already had such issues, but I honestly don't

\n>
\n> What I know is that if I have a guitar in channel 3,
\n> I have the option of recording on track 3, 11, or 19
\n> because of the way the 8 buses record on the HDR. I

\n> my guitar into channel 7, 15, or 23. Are you saying
\n> a patchbay will heal this situation? And if so, is
\n> there a certain type of patchbay that I need? I'll
\n> go buy it, I'm just not sure what I'm looking for.
\n>
\n> Here's another question along kind of the same
\n> lines. I have my Roland XV-88 plugged into channels
\n> 9 & 10 (left and right stereo) into the 24*8
\n> console. Does a stereo feed like this have to be
\n> recorded on two tracks, or can I record the two
\n> channels to one track and have a stereo recording on
\n> one track? The reason is, I record several things
\n> from my keyboard (piano, orchestra, bass guitar,
\n> sometimes drums and percussion - its a great
\n> keyboard) so potentially I'm burning two tracks on
\n> the HDR every time I record another instrument. That
\n> makes a shiny new 24 track recorder feel a lot like
\n> 12 tracks pretty fast. Should I just record the
\n> keyboard in mono from the L output?
\n>
\n> Thank you so much for your help!

\n> First, read the manuals, including the Technical

\n>
\n> Second, start saving your pennies for a patchbay.
