Routing Through the Mixer
To record in the DAW, you must have the mixer and Digi002 set up correctly. Here are the steps you will need to take:
- Turn the mic/instrument track volume up (about half way) and route it to the Digi002 (push the 1-2 button in).
- To hear playback, turn the two Digi tracks up and push the L/R buttons in (or use headphones to avoid recording feedback)
- Make sure that subs 1-2 is pushed in in the control room box (below the speaker volume knob)
- Make sure that sliders 1 & 2 of the set of four sliders next to the mixer are up (about half way)
- On the Digi002 make sure that all of the little buttons are pushed out
-
On the Digi002 make sure that the Gain 1 knob is turned up (about
1/2-3/4 of the way) for Mic 1, or that the Gain 2 knob is up for Mic 2
or the tape deck.
If you are not recording, and just using a MIDI sequencing program such as Reason, make sure that you have both Digi tracks up, L/R pushed in and the MIDI man pushed IN.
If you are still having difficulty after reading through these instructions, please email us at catalysthelp@u.washington.edu and we will get back to you with some advice or personally check to make sure the cables behind the DAW are all in order. Please do not try experimenting with the arrangement of the cables behind the DAW! And remember that those "Keep On" stickers on the power conditioners are not just for show.
