Figure 10-2 Sources Tab
The Sources tab creates sources to SME’s mixer inputs. To create a source, select the
Format
(Mono, Stereo, or 5.1), select the
Start Channel
, type a name into the
Name
field, and click the Create button. SME creates the input monitoring section and adds it
to the list of sections on the
Main
tab; it is now available for monitoring. Channels 1–6
are used for internal busses from the application using the Studio Monitor Core Audio
driver. Channels 9–16 are reserved for external inputs, physical inputs to the audio I/O
(i.e. an external CD player connected to the sound card inputs).
To route stereo audio from an application running on the Macintosh into SME, select
Euphonix Monitor as the application’s Core Audio output driver. In the SME Sources
tab, create a stereo source, name it (Logic, Nuendo, etc.), and set the start channel to 1.
This creates a stereo monitoring source for SME mixer input channels 1 and 2. Enable
the source in SME Main tab or from the MC Monitors section setup Touchscreen.
To create a source for a stereo external input (i.e., a CD Player ): Select Stereo from the
Format
, select 9 as the
Start Channel
, type CD Player in the
Name
field, and press the
Create button. This creates a stereo source for SME mixer external input channels 9 and
10. The inputs to that source are defined in the Patch tab (page 86).
