Working with Third Party Applications

In order to generate an audio file with the correct sample rate stored in its header, the
sample rate specified for the recorded file must match the sample rate of the equipment
driving the digital input. Failure to do so will cause subsequent playback of the recorded
file at the wrong sample rate.

If the Auto Selection box is checked in the LynxONE mixer, the source of the sample
clock generator will be restored to its previous setting at the completion of recording
or when the Monitor Source is changed to Analog In.

If the Auto Selection box is not checked, then the Sample Clock Source must be manually
changed before analog input recording or monitoring.

Simultaneous Device and Four-track Operation

The four audio devices of the LynxONE operate completely independent in terms of
whether they are in recording or playback modes and their associated audio files. This
implies that the devices can operate simultaneously and support the so-called “full-
duplex” mode where, for instance, the LynxONE Analog In device is recording while
the LynxONE Analog Out device is playing.

Although the devices act independently, when multiple devices are being used to record
or play multiple audio files simultaneously, the LynxONE driver has the capability to
synchronously start all devices with sample accuracy. This is especially important for
maintaining synchronization during playback of multiple devices and overdubbing.

By using both the analog and digital inputs and outputs, four track recording and
playback is possible. On the input side, the left and right signals associated with the
LynxONE Analog In device act as input channels 1 and 2, while the left and right
signals associated with the LynxONE Digital In device act as input channels 3 and 4.
The outputs are used in a similar manner. Again, control of this four-channel operation
is simply a matter of device selection in any compatible multitrack audio application.
