Your mixer is equipped with AD/DA converters,
FireWire and USB connections for sending audio to
and from your computer.
Make sure the drivers for the UFX1604 are
loaded on your Windows computer
(driver is not required for Mac OS X).
Connect the mixer to the computer via
FireWire or USB. Make sure you set the
3-way switch on the back panel of the
mixer accordingly.
Select the UFX1604 inputs and outputs
you’d like to use in your
recording software.
Set your desired sample rate and
bit depth from within your DAW
(digital audio workstation) software.
Connect your microphones, instruments
and line level sources to the channel
inputs. Each channel can be recorded pre
or post EQ as its own mono or stereo track in your
recording software. It is also possible to record the
AUX sends on channels 13/14.
The MAIN Mix can also be recorded by pressing the
MAIN MIX ASSIGN TO FW 15-16 button. This will send
the main mix to your DAW through output 15/16.
Arm the tracks in your recording software
and record when ready.
Make sure the STAND ALONE mode is
selected on the back of the mixer
(center position).
When a new USB drive is inserted for
the fi rst time, the mixer tests the
writing speed of the drive to determine
the audio quality. The outcome appears on the
TRANSPORT CONTROL screen as “Lo” (16 bit) or “Hi”
(24 bit). If the drive is too slow for recording,
the display will show “SLO” after testing.
If your drive needs to be formatted,

To listen or navigate through recordings
