Model 12 / need help with understanding & workflow

[peripouoxi]

Hello.
New user of the model 12 here.
There are a couple of things that i'm not sure I understand from the manual and could use some clarification.
*sorry in advance if they sound dumb*

Q1.
- the 11/12 channels (MAIN BUS)
Let's say I record something on channel 7/8.
I understand that on channel 7/8, the track is there to be played back (after the recording).
But what about 11/12? Is it empty, or does it also have the recorded material?
If it's the latter and I start another recording on another channel (say, 9/10), will I just overwrite the previous recording?

Q2.
when i do a stereo wav export, is there a way to choose which channels are going to be part of the export?
Meaning, If I have recorded audio on channel 7/8 and 9/10, how do I choose to export only one of them in the file ?

I'm also trying to understand what kind of workflow is best (or more suitable for me at least).
(assuming I want to record a single stereo source and continue mixing in a DAW)
- record on channel 7/8
- stereo wav export
- delete 7/8
- change song name
- back to step 1.

Does that make sense, or is there a sharper way to do it?

thanks in advance, and any tips & feedback appreciated.

"Read The Sticky Posts". The Search function is also very helpful.
Might not hurt to find/watch a few "intro to Model 12" y'tubes.
And of course, "RTM"!

This is a highly complex piece o' gear that requires its' user to have at least a minimal level of familiarity with it and its' operation to be utilized effectively. You could save yourself a LOT of time learning on the go (read: "making mistakes") by studyin' up.

Good luck!
