In our [[01 . Four Steps of Recording|4 steps of Recording]] workflow, there are two patches that are extremely important. These two patches are not connected by default, whereas many of the other connections are. These two patches to take into account are: - The gear needs to be patched into the channel (commonly the channel input patch point for mic level signals) - The channel outputs need to be patched into the DAW Input patch point.
