1. Next to Aux In 1 is a switch labeled “To Ins 1, 2.” Pressing in and engaging
this switch, will a) take the signal present at the Aux In1
out of
the stereo
buss of the Omni mixer, and b) send that same signal to the Delta H/W Ins 1
& 2.
2. Next to Aux In 2 is a switch labeled “To Ins 3, 4.” Pressing in and engaging
this switch, will a) take the signal present at the Aux In 2
out of
the stereo
buss of the Omni mixer, and b) send that same signal to the Delta H/W Ins
3 & 4.
Remember that the Aux Ins are stereo inputs. They carry the left and right
signals from a stereo device (such as your MIDI sound modules). Therefore, Aux
In 1 feeds Line Ins 1 & 2 of the Omni (left and right respectively), which in turn
feed the Delta H/W Ins 1 & 2. Aux In 2 feeds Line Ins 3 & 4 of the Omni (left and
right respectively), which in turn feed the Delta H/W Ins 3 & 4.
Also, since the Omni mixer channels for the Aux Ins gives a boost in level, you
will experience a drop in listening level when you engage the “To Ins 1, 2”
switch. What is important at this point is to establish an optimal level for
recording the MIDI tracks, and then to set the playback levels once the track is
recorded.
NOTE: “Aux to Line In” switches are only provided for Aux Ins 1 & 2.
Aux Ins 3 & 4 can not be routed to the Omni Line Ins in this fashion.
11. Mixing With the Omni
Once you have sequenced your MIDI tracks and recorded all of your audio
tracks, you are ready to mix your project with the Omni. There are two ways that
we will suggest that you go about it.
A. Using the Omni “Record Outs,” record to your mixdown deck with your
MIDI sound modules plugged into the Omni Aux Ins as “virtual tracks” (tracks
not recorded as audio tracks). The recorded audio tracks will also play through
the Omni mixer. You may use the effect send on the Omni as well as add effects
in your music software.
This setup is the same as the basic playback setup described in section 6. You can use
it to run off “rough mixes” as your project develops, as well as for your final mix.
While mixing, you can use the Omni Direct Outs as additional effects send on
individual Delta H/W Outs. This is covered in section 11.2.
B. You can choose to record all of your sequenced MIDI sound modules into
your music software as audio tracks. Once you have done this, your music
software may allow you to add effects to the individual tracks (if the software
and your system resources allow it).
