Tim/Ed,
So, if I want to record, monitor and playback in stereo (which will
still allow me to get back to MS again later), then I should set:
Input 1,2:Linking,MS: Linked 1/2 and MS
HP:Favourite Mode: inputs 1,2 (for monitoring in stereo while recording)
HP:Playback Mode: inputs 1,2 (for listening to playback in stereo)
Right?
Thanks, Natalie :)
