Status / USB Audio Device – displays the card name and serial number.
4.2 USB Configuration
After the console has booted up, you can access the Setup screen and navigate to the Card tab to select the USB interface input/output
configuration. Depending on your application, you may want to select an option other than the maximum 32 x 32 channel count to
preserve system resources.
32 in / 32 out – This mode allows the full potential of the interface to be tapped. Note that the computer needs to be able to handle that
amount of concurrent I/O stream without any glitches. Depending on its speed and memory configuration, some optimization for audio
recording might be required.
It is also possible to run a virtual sound check of all 32 input channels by recording them directly to a computer during a brief line check.
The performers can leave the stage while you play back the recorded instruments from the hard drive and tweak the sound accordingly.
16 in / 16 out – If you don't actually need more than 16 concurrent input and output tracks to be exchanged between the console
and your PC, then this mode might be more appropriate for you. First, it will slow the required bandwidth on the interface down.
Second, there will be no excessive I/O tracks in your DAW configuration that might clutter your setup. Third, it allows you to run a
fully-featured zero-latency overdub setup, which would be impossible if signals were run through the computer. In this case, the 16 input
signals are put on channels 1-16, while the tape (card) returns are put on channels 17-32. The monitoring is directly fed from Ch1-16 as
usual, including all processing and effects. It remains independent from any computer audio latency, even though you can hear back all
the recorded tracks without any re-patching.
32 in / 8 out – This mode is tailored to suit a typical studio and overdub recording situation, with many input channels but only a few
output channels for monitoring of previously recorded takes.
8 in / 32 out – This is a useful mode for utilizing the excellent audio engine and effects processing of the console during final mixdown
of your project. All 32 tracks would be fed from your DAW into the console where all the magic happens. Then only 2-8 tracks of the
complete mixdown would be sent back to the DAW.
8 in / 8 out – This setting is light on processing power while still providing enough I/O for tracking drums or multiple mics on an acoustic
guitar or piano.
2 in / 2 out – For recording just the main stereo mix, or playing back from typical media player applications where often only two
channels are needed. Use this mode in order to remove all unused channels that would otherwise clutter your PCs audio applications.
Note that the Routing / Home and Card Out tabs allow audio from your computer to be sent to the desired destination. The Routing/home
tab now offers to select two alternative input assignments, separately for Recording and Playback operation. See chapter 5.3 for details.
