Using the M-16DX for System Sounds
In addition to using the M-16DX with a DAW, you can use it for all of your
computer’s operating system sounds if you like. The following sections
explain how to set this up.
It’s a good idea to turn off your system sounds while you’re actually
working with your DAW for a couple of reasons. First, they may
provide an extra burden for your computer’s processor when it’s busy
recording and playing tracks in your DAW. Second, if you’re recording
the M-16DX’s main mix bus into your DAW in a two-track session, the
system sounds will be included in the recording.
Sending Windows XP System Sounds to the M-16DX
In the Start menu, select Control Panel.
