4. Connection and Setup
4.1 Connecting the BRICKWALL HD-DT
Desktop Controller (optional)
Getting the Desktop Controller up and running couldn’t get any easier. Plug the
included USB cable into the unit’s rear micro-USB port, and connect the other end
to a free USB port on your computer. The Desktop Controller is bus powered, so no
other power cables are necessary, and no additional drivers need to be
manually installed.
The Desktop Controller will light up upon successful connection. You can now
apply the plug-in to a channel in your DAW to begin using the effect. This process
may vary slightly depending on your software, but generally should require
these steps:
• Select a channel or bus in your DAW to which you would like to add the effect.
Access the mixer page where you should see a section dedicated to effect slots
• Open the menu where you can select from a list of effect types, which
probably includes many stock plugins that are included with the DAW.
There should be submenu to view general VST/AU/AAX options.
• The plug-in will likely be found in a dedicated TC Electronic folder. Select the
BRICKWALL HD and it will now be added to the signal chain.
Double click on the effect slot that contains the BRICKWALL HD to view the
plug-in UI. There should be a green link icon at the bottom, and text that
indicates successful connection between the plug-in and the Desktop Controller.
4.2 Operating the BRICKWALL HD
After you have installed the plug-in, activated the iLok license, and optionally
connected the BRICKWALL HD-DT Desktop Controller via USB, you can begin
inserting the plug-in to your tracks.
Adjustments to the effect are done in two ways: either by using the plug-in user
interface, or optionally via the physical Desktop Controller.
