DAW software settings
With the Windows driver installed and the computer connected to the mixer, your DAW program remains to be configured. Each DAW program will have its own unique
procedure, typically of three or four steps, which will set these configurations:
• Designate the TouchMix-30 Pro as the audio source for the DAW.
• Set the number of mixer inputs and outputs to be used by the DAW program.
• For recording, assign mixer inputs to DAW tracks.
• For mixing down, assign DAW tracks to mixer inputs.
This following pages of this Quick Start Guide have procedures for four popular DAW programs:
Apple Logic Pro X
,
Steinberg Cubase
,
Pro Tools 12.5
, and
Apple
GarageBand 10
. See your DAW software's user documentation for any specific details. If your DAW does not recognize the mixer, it may be necessary to turn the mixer
off and on again or to restart your computer.
