RECORDING WITH THE MADI-USB COMBO CARD

The MADI-USB Combo card also enables multi-track recording and playback. Standard 
mic/line input sources can be recorded through the Si series console via the card to a 
DAW or similar. This simple yet powerful solution is suitable for recording live gigs but is 
equally at home in the studio.
To record audio into the Mac or PC, a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) is required. Any 
DAW that allows use of third-party audio drivers, like Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Nuendo, 
can be used. 

NOTE: The PC or Mac hosting the DAW requires adequate hard disk space, RAM and 
processing power to ensure reliable operation; see the specification requirements for 
your chosen DAW package for more information.

The audio to be recorded is typically sent via the ‘direct outputs’ on the source channels, 
for example:
Channel 1-32 on the console would be sent to Direct out ‘MADI-USB Combo Card 1-32’ 
and then to DAW channels 1-32 as illustrated in the table below.
