Quick Start Guide

This is a “quick start guide” designed for people about to use Yamaha DM2000 for the first time. It is 
not a guide to audio mixing and it assumes the reader has experience of analog mixers. It does not 
replace the manual; we recommend referring to the manual if further information is required. 

402

 pages of manual and then the 

editor and driver guides. Mmmmm..... 
there has got to be a quicker way...
