Introduction

Installation and Setup

Setting up the mixer consists essentially of these steps. Relevant mixer views are noted here in parentheses:

•Set up hardware

•Download and install software. Activate licenses for eMotion LV1 and plugins (via the Waves Central application)

•Create a session based on templates from previous sessions, or use a blank session template (Show > Sessions)

•Assign and configure all I/O devices (Setup > System Inventory)

•Patch audio between devices and within the mixer (Patch > Input)

Once you’ve created a session, configuring the mixer is similar to setting up other digital consoles:

•Set mixer preferences (Setup > Mixer Settings > U/I Settings)

•Adjust preamps and other inputs (Mixer, Channel)

•Assign groups, links, and adjust sends (Mixer, Channel)

•Assign matrix and mute groups (Mixer, Channel)

•Configure plugins (Channel)

•Create scenes (Show > Scenes)

eMotion LV1 can mix multiple inputs in multiple mix busses and process a large number of plugin instances. To make this possible, all
processing is carried out on a high-speed server, not on the host computer. This server is part of a Waves SoundGrid network, so the

first step in setting up the mixer is to set up the network.
