4.1 MIXER

The EASERA GATEWAY includes a software MIXER/ROUTER for flexible monitoring and
routing of the audio signal before it hits your software program. This is helpful to avoid the
time it takes to process the audio you are recording – called latency. Therefore, you can
mix the input signal going into the EASERA GATEWAY with the playback from your soft-
ware for zero latency recording and monitoring.

NOTE: The default settings (pictured above) for the EASERA GATEWAY mixer has all
faders set to 0dB and all pans set to center, with the Software Playback set to channels
1/2, the Mixer Output set to Bypass, and the Playback to Phones set to channels 1/2. 

Clock Source:

Drop down the menu to select the EASERA GATEWAY’s digital sync

source.

INTERNAL

Latency:

– Sets the amount of delay time of your EASERA GATEWAY (1.5ms – 24ms).

Latency is the time it takes for the computer to process audio.  Lower latency settings
demand more CPU resources.  In the case of inconsistent audio, (i.e. drop outs, pops and
clicks, digital distortion, etc) we recommend that you increase this setting. 

Input Level Boost:

clicking this button will boost the input level of each corresponding

analog input on the EASERA GATEWAY by +12dB.  Use this feature for recording quiet
instruments or devices with low output.
