Enabling AUX ~~channel~~ output on the T1

Enabling AUX output on the T1 (per channel)

# Turn your T1 Master selector knob to “AUX”.

# Press the CH Edit button of the channel you wish to route to the AUX connector.

# Press the CH Edit button of the channel you wish to route to the AUX connector. (Remember, you must do this for each channel you wish to record from the T1.)

# Check the T1 display. If Level says "Bypass", the channel is currently muted going to the AUX connector. If muted, simply press the knob button underneath the display to un-mute the channel.

# Use the knob button to adjust the percentage of the signal you want at the AUX connector. This range can be between 0% (no signal) to 100% (the entire signal) routed to the AUX connector. Think of it as a volume knob to control the channel's ~~signal~~ volume. Use this method to control each individual channel for your “recording” mix routed to the T1’s AUX connector.

Here's a quick video on enabling the AUX out capability of each channel on the {{T1}}.

* With the Zoom H4 connected and used as a recorder in this configuration you can expect to get exactly what you would hear from the T1 AUX OUT connector. Provided you have enabled the AUX output on each T1 channel, you’ll hear what is plugged into the input of each channel, whether it’s a microphone, iPod, guitar, etc.

* Setting the "recording mix" of all you T1 channels requires you to listen to the AUX output by some method, or to leave each channels Level mix at its default setting of 50%. The easy approach is to leave everything at 50%. This insures nothing ends up too hot in the mix. (~~You~~ can taylor your recording mix by adjusting the Level percentage of each channel, but I haven't taken the time to experiment with this ~~option~~.) NOTE: Changing this Level setting does not change any output levels from your ~~T1 which are routed via your Main OUT of the~~ T1.

(It appears you can taylor your recording mix by adjusting the Level percentage of each channel, but I haven't taken the time to experiment with this capability, as of yet.) NOTE: Changing this Level setting does not change any MAIN output levels from your T1.

Enabling your Zoom H4's inputs

* Be sure to change your inputs on the Zoom H4 from the default "internal mics" to Input Connectors 1 & 2. Refer to the Zoom H4 Users Manual for details on selecting inputs, if needed. This enables you to plug in the cables from your {{T1}}s to the H4 for recording, otherwise, you'll still be recording with the internal mics of the H4!
