TC Electronic Impact Twin - Manual (Page 16)

You can use Impact Twin as an excellent AD
converter.
In this example, we route the output of channels 1+2 to
the S/PDIF out. Note that EQ, compression and De-Ess
is still applied. The Reverb, however, is not routed to the
S/PDIF out.
The described settings for this example can be
recalled as a preset via Impact Twin’s file menu.

Here, we are sending channels via ADAT to an
external mixer with ADAT inputs.
In addition to using the TC Near Control Panel’s Effects
Send to feed an external effects processor using the S/
PDIF in and out jacks (as explained in example #4), this
routing also allows you to send eight channels via the
ADAT out to an external mixer with ADAT in.
– Connect Impact Twin’s S/PDIF out to the external
effect’s S/PDIF in. Connect the external effect’s S/
PDIF out to Impact Twin’s S/PDIF in.
– Connect Impact Twin’s ADAT out to your mixer’s
ADAT in using a standard optical cable.
– Create four busses in your DAW and route your
tracks to these channels.
The described settings for this example can be
recalled as a preset via Impact Twin’s file menu.
How to create busses in Ableton Live and route
these busses to the ADAT channels
– In Ableton Live, select “Options” / “Preferences”.

several mono or stereo busses. In the example
below, we have created four mono and four stereo
busses.
– Create four audio tracks in.
– For each track, select “Ext. Out” from the “Audio To”
drop-down menu.
– Then select FW channel pairs 7/8, 9/10, 11/12 and
13/14. See below:
