Appendix D Working with Apogee Hardware in Soundtrack Pro 513
Inputs 1 to 4
Inputs 1 to 4 feature built-in pre-amps. These can be configured individually via the
four identical sets of Pre-Amp parameters.
 Level pop-up menu: This pop-up menu allows you to switch the respective channel
between microphone and line inputs. If you choose the Line option, the +4 dBu and
–10 dBV options shown in the pop-up menu below are used to set the reference
level of the line input. All microphone-related settings (Gain, Group, 48V Phantom
Power, and Phase Invert) will be dimmed.
 Gain slider: Sets the gain level of the chosen input (only available for microphone
channels).
 Group pop-up menu: The gain controls of the microphone inputs can be assigned to
a group. Groups allow you to link the Gain sliders of the microphone inputs.
Changing the Gain slider of any microphone input assigned to a group also changes
the Gain sliders of all microphone inputs in this group. Individual gain relationships
(relative levels between microphone inputs)—at the time the Gain sliders were
assigned to the group—are retained. Options are Group 1, Group 2, and None. The
Group pop-up menu is only available to channels used as microphone inputs.
 Soft Limit checkbox: Select to apply Apogee’s soft limiting to the inputs.
 Phase Invert checkbox: Select this checkbox to reverse the phase of the input signal
(available only if the channel is used as microphone input).
 48V Phantom Power checkbox: Select to activate a 48-volt phantom power supply for
inputs 1 to 4. This checkbox is available only if the channel is used as a microphone input.
Line Inputs 5 to 8
The Analog Line Inputs section offers the following parameters for line inputs 5 to 8:
 Level pop-up menu: Sets the input level of line inputs 5 to 8. Options are +4 dBu
and –10 dBV.
 Soft Limit checkbox: Select to apply Apogee’s soft limiting to the analog line inputs.
