3.3 Output / Router Matrix
True to its name, the Outputs / Router Matrix is the section of the FireStudio Control Console where you have
full control of the physical outputs of your FireStudio. The Matrix Router allows you to create custom
routing of inputs and playback streams to any output. With the Outputs / Router Matrix you can:
• Route a monitor mix to a stereo output
• Assign every input and playback stream to its own output
• Do quick AD/DA conversion on the fly
The Matrix Router can do it all quickly and easily. This is the virtual patch bay for your FireStudio
recording environment.
A quick note on playback streams:
Wherever you see "DAW" in the FireStudio Control Console, this is a
playback stream from your host application (or DAW). Traditionally, if you want to route a track in your
DAW to a physical output on your interface, you assign this output in your host application. Because the
FireStudio Control Console provides much more flexible routing, you can now route this same track to one
output or every output, all by itself or as part as a mix.
For example, if you choose "FireStudio Out 4" for a track or virtual instrument in your DAW, FireStudio Out
4 is not a physical output. It is a virtual output. This track is now "DAW 4" in the FCC. This track can still
be routed to the FireStudio's physical out 4, but you can also route to output 2 or 16 and include it in the
monitor mix assigned to outputs 7 and 8. But we'll get to that a little later.
Please note: ADAT 2 outputs (FireStudio outputs 17-24) can be directly accessed from your DAW
application, no additional routing is available in the FireStudio Control Console.
