Connections and settings for Firewire
recording and monitoring
The best way to begin using the MultiMix for Firewire recording is
to set up your system this way:
1. Hook up your monitoring system to the MultiMix’s CTRL
RM OUT jacks.
2. Apply the MASTER section’s buttons as follows:
a. 2 TK TO MIX: Leave UP.
Pressing this button down can cause nasty
feedback loops.
b. MIX TO CONTROL ROOM: Press DOWN.
This will allow you to hear the music being
recorded in real time.
c. ALT 3/4 TO CONTROL ROOM:
Leave up or down.
d. 2 TK TO CONTROL ROOM: Press DOWN.
This will allow you to hear the output from the
computer.
e. ALT 3/4 TO MIX: Leave up or down.
Using the MultiMix FireWire with
Cubase and other ASIO applications
Audio recording programs running on Microsoft Windows
generally use one of two different audio standards—WDM (the
“Windows Driver Model,” developed by Microsoft) or ASIO
(“Audio Stream Input/Output,” developed by Steinberg and made
freely available to other companies).
Audio on the Macintosh (OS X) generally runs on top of Apple’s
CoreAudio standard.
We’ll look at how to use the MultiMix FireWire under each of
these standards, starting with ASIO (using Cubase as an example).
