Chapter 3: Using Studio Monitor Express

11

Config

The Config tab shows the current audio driver, and provides level controls for 

Dim 

and

 Fixed

. The Config tab is slightly different 

depending on whether you are using Mac or Windows. 

For Mac, see “Mac Config Tab” on page 11; for Windows, see “Windows Config Tab” on page 12.

Mac Config Tab

On Mac, the 

Config

 tab displays the currently selected Core Audio device driver and lets you set 

Dim

 and 

Fixed

 output levels.

Audio Device

This menu selects the Core Audio driver for the sound card to use with SME.

Set Dim Level

Sets the program signal’s absolute Dim Level when the Control Room Setup Touchscreen’s Dim button is active.

Set Fixed Level

Sets a fixed output level for the Control Room output. This is useful for sending the DAW output to a separate mixer or router 
that has its own level controls, instead of controlling the output level from SME.

When the output driver is changed, patching is reset to default settings with no external or output patches enabled. Patches must 
be reassigned in the Patching tab.
