3.1.4 The Device Window: FireStudio Mobile Mixer
The FireStudio Mobile’s Device window allows you
to create three stereo monitor mixes. The mixes can
be renamed and saved. You can also rename your
inputs and playback streams.
These mixes have no effect on what is being
recorded in your host application. This has obvious
advantages. However, it is vital to remember
that lowering the fader in the Device window
on a channel strip that is clipping will not lower
the signal that may also be clipping in your host
application. You must set the level for the recording
using the gain knobs on the face of the FireStudio
Mobile. If your signal is too hot in your DAW, lower
them with these gain controls.
A quick note on playback streams: Wherever you
see “DAW” in the FireStudio Mobile Device window,
this is a playback stream from your host application
(or DAW). Traditionally, if you want to route a track in
your DAW to a physical output on your interface, you
assign this output in your host application. Because
the FireStudio Mobile Device window provides much
more flexible routing, you can now route this same
track to one output or every output, by itself or as part
of a mix.
