Connecting Logic to a Mixer

Given that the audio interface has sufficient inputs to handle all of the studio’s
equipment, you would connect your devices as follows:

input 1—microphone (phantom power active)

input 2—guitar (phantom power active)

input 3—synthesizer 1 left output

input 4—synthesizer 1 right output

input 5—synthesizer 2 left output

input 6—synthesizer 2 right output

input 7—unused

input 8—unused

digital input—DAT digital output

digital output—DAT digital input

master output—into your amplifier and speakers

headphone output—headphones

In Logic, you would set up six discrete Audio Input Objects on the Audio layer of your
Environment, as follows:

Audio Input 1—mono

Audio Input 2—mono

Audio Input 3—stereo (for control of synthesizer 1’s left and right channels,
connected to inputs 3 and 4 of the audio interface)

Audio Input 4—stereo (for control of synthesizer 2’s left and right channels,
connected to inputs 5 and 6 of the audio interface)

Audio Input 5—stereo (for control of the left and right channels, connected to inputs
7 and 8 of the audio interface)

Audio Input 6—stereo (for control of the left and right channels of the audio
interface’s digital input)

The outputs of the audio interface are addressed by the Output faders in the Audio
layer of the Environment.

To adjust the incoming levels of the external synthesizers, the microphone, guitar, and
DAT machine, you can simply change the level of the corresponding Audio Input
Object.

Important:

The Audio > Audio Hardware & Drivers > Software Monitoring preference

must be active in order to hear incoming audio via the Audio Input Objects.
