Cool Edit Pro: Assigning Gina’s Inputs &
Outputs
Gina’s inputs and outputs are assigned to tracks in two different ways,
depending on the view
stereo waveform or multitrack
in which you are
working. In the stereo waveform view, select
Options/Settings/Devices
; in
the window that appears you can define the
Waveform Playback
and
Waveform Recor
d devices. Simply highlight the Gina inputs and outputs
you wish to use in the appropriate fields. These settings will apply for all
files that you play or record when in the stereo waveform view. These
device settings are saved as Cool Edit Pro preferences; as such, they will be
used for all subsequent sessions until you change them.
In the multitrack view, the inputs and outputs are assigned on a per-track
basis. Before making assignments, however, you’ll need to set up the
Preferred Multitrack Devices
. To do this, click on either of the small
numeral 1s at the far left of the track display; doing so will bring up the
Playback
Device
window. Click on the
Device
List
button; you’ll see a list
of
Preferred Multitrack Devices
. In the
Playback
fields, assign Gina
analog playback devices 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8 into the 1
st
, 2
nd
, 3
rd
, and 4
th
fields, respectively. Assign the S/PDIF playback device into the 5
th
field.
In the Record fields, assign
Gina 1/2 Analog Record
to the first field and
Gina S/PDIF Record
into the second field. Click
Okay
on each window
to back out to the multitrack view screen. These device assignments are
saved as Cool Edit Pro preferences, and will be used each time you open a
new session.
To make the playback and record device assignments for a specific track,
click anywhere in the track’s blue-gray area at the far left of the track
display. This will open the
Track Info
window. Click on the arrows in the
Playback Device
and
Record Device
fields to select the desired inputs and
outputs
.
