Mixer Page
The
mixer
page provides output routing and control of the FireWire Audiophile’s analog
and digital inputs, as well as the six virtual channels returning from your Digital Audio
Workstation software.
Software Returns
– The
mixer
page provides access to six virtual audio “returns” from
your audio application. These returns are available in stereo pairs, and are labeled
1/2
sw rtn
;
3/4 sw rtn
; and
spdif sw rtn
. These returns will appear in the program’s output
mixer settings as available audio outputs.
Most likely, you will control the output monitor levels from your audio program’s mixer,
and will want to keep these faders at their maximum level. However, you may find it
convenient to adjust them here, if you are, for example, setting up a balance between
input levels and
sw rtn
levels.
Hardware Inputs
– The
mixer
page also provides software level control for direct
monitoring of the FireWire Audiophile’s analog and S/PDIF digital inputs. These pairs are
labeled
analog in
and
spdif in
.
It may be important to note that the input channel default settings have NO Output
Routings selected (see the next section for more information). Monitoring these inputs
may be set up from within your music program, or you may make an Output Routing
