MindPrint T.R.I.O.

Getting Started

Before you fire up T.R.I.O™ for the first time, take a moment or two to
configure your rig. With our suggested setup, handling will be a pleasure
rather than a pain. If your recording rig comprises a computer, capacitor
microphone, keyboard, CD player and monitors, then a basic configuration
that lets you deal with all connected signal sources directly looks like this:

FOR QUICK-STARTERS
If you're accustomed to working with conventional mixers, you should
have no trouble handling T.R.I.O™ without further fuss.
However, there are a few things you should bear in mind: The two REC
VOL. knobs control the recording levels of the signals sent to the DAW,
and NOT the monitor busses' levels! Twist the knobs at the bottom
center (in the ZERO LATENCY MONITORING section) to adjust the
monitor volume. So, don't be surprised to hear the LINE signal even
when the LINE REC VOL. knob at the bottom left is turned all the
way down.
y The MIC/INSTR. input and LINE input may be used and recorded
simultaneously.
