Audio setup in your DAW with RedNet Control
Whatever DAW you are using, it will provide a method of selecting which RedNet audio channel feeds
each track. Please refer to your DAW’s documentation or Help files if you are unsure about this.
The RedNet PCIe card will be detected automatically by your DAW and added to the list of available
audio sources. Depending on your particular DAW, it may be necessary to select it as the active
I/O device manually; other systems may set it as the default device on detection. From the Audio
I/O Setup (name will differ between DAWs), you can select which of RedNet’s 128 input channels
constitutes the audio source for each track in use. Similarly you can route each track to any of the
128 output channels available. Please note to operate RedNet PCIe with Pro Tools
TM
you will need to
activate “Pro Tools Mode” in RedNet Control.
The input and output channels available via the RedNet PCIe card will be listed in your DAW’s Audio
I/O Setup as “ Input n ” or “ Output n ” (where n will have a value of between 1 and 128). RedNet will
automatically route the physical inputs and outputs of the RedNet units available on the network to
the DAW inputs and outputs in a one-to-one numerical sequence, taking into account the order in
which the units are sorted on-screen in RedNet Control.
To give a simple example – if you have a RedNet 1 (8 line inputs, 8 line outputs) and a RedNet 4 (8 mic/
line inputs) on the network, and you sort the units in RedNet Control so that the RedNet 4 becomes
the “first” unit, then its eight physical inputs will be available to your DAW as Inputs 1 to 8, and the
eight RedNet 1 inputs as Inputs 9 to 16. The eight physical outputs of the RedNet 1 will be available
as Outputs 1 to 8 of your DAW.
The operation of the RedNet Control software is covered in greater detail on page 18.

Using a simple system of two RedNet units, up to 16 sources could be simultaneously recorded, and
up to 8 of them could be via the Focusrite microphone preamplifiers in the RedNet 4. Up to 8 outputs
could be created for monitoring or downmix purposes.
