FOR BEGINNERS: DIAL BEATS - MIX & ROUTE VERSION
"Dial Beats (Mix).amxd" can be added to any audio or MIDI track. Any effect applied to the Dial Beat's track will affect both sample players (no routing possible).
"Dial Beats (Route).amxd" can also be added to any audio or midi track, but you can route the audio output manually:
- To do so, create an audio track. Select as input type (Audio From) the track with the Dial Beat device you want to route. Below select "3/4-Dial Beats" as input channel and activate monitor "In".
- Duplicate the audio track, or create a second one. This time choose "5/6-Dial Beats" as input channel. Now you can edit both sampler outputs independently.
