9.4 Digital Recording
Unlike analog soundcards which pro-
duce empty wave files (or noise) when
no input signal is present, digital I/O
cards always need a valid input signal
to start recording.
To take this into account RME included
a comprehensive I/O signal status dis-
play (showing sample rate, lock and
sync status) in the Settings dialog.
The sample rate shown in the fields
Clock Mode and Input Status offers a
quick overview of the current configura-
tion of card and all connected external
equipment. If no sample rate is recog-
nized, it will show
No Lock
.
This way, configuring any suitable audio
application for digital recording is sim-
ple. After selecting the required input,
HDSPe RayDAT displays the current
sample rate. This parameter can then
be changed in the application’s audio
attributes (or similar) dialog.
It often makes sense to monitor the
input signal or send it directly to the
output. This can be done at zero latency
using
TotalMix
(see chapter 20).
An
automated
control of real-
time monitoring can be achieved by Steinberg’s ASIO protocol with
RME’s ASIO drivers and all ASIO compatible programs. When 'ASIO Direct Monitoring' has
been switched on, the input signal is routed in real-time to the output whenever a recording is
started (punch-in).
