12.6 Analog Recording
For recordings via the analog inputs the corresponding record device has to be chosen (HDSP
Analog (x+x)). Apart from the three reference levels, the Multiface has no means to change the
input level. This would make no sense for the digital inputs, but also for the analog inputs one
can do without it. It doesn't matter if the Multiface is operated at a mixing desk or a multichan-
nel mic preamp, in either case the level can be controlled directly at the source to match the
Multiface's sensitivity perfectly.
The input sensitivity of the analog inputs can be adjusted using the front panel switch ANALOG
LEVEL INPUTS to meet the most often used studio levels, see chapter 25.1.
13. Operation under ASIO 2.0
13.1 General
Start the ASIO software and select
ASIO Hammerfall DSP
as the audio I/O device. The 'ASIO
system control' button opens the HDSP's Settings dialog (see chapter 10 / 20, Configuration).
Hammerfall DSP supports
ASIO Direct Monitoring
(ADM). Please note that
currently Nuendo, Cubase
and Logic either do not
support ADM completely
or error-free.
Using emulated MIDI
drivers often causes a drift
and delay between audio
and MIDI. You should use
non-emulated (MME) MIDI
ports in such a case.
At a sample rate of 88.2 or
96 kHz, the ADAT optical
input and output operate
in S/MUX mode, so the
number of available channels is reduced from 8 to 4.
13.2 Known Problems
If a computer does not provide sufficient CPU-power and/or sufficient PCI-bus transfer rates,
then drop outs, crackling and noise will appear. We recommend to deactivate all PlugIns to
verify that these are not the reason for such effects.
Additional hard disk controllers, both on-board and PCI based, aften violate the PCI specs. To
achieve the highest throughput they hog the PCI bus, even in their default setting. Thus when
working with low latencies heavy drop outs (clicks) are heard. Try to solve this problem by
changing the default setting of the controller (for example by reducing the 'PCI Bus Utilization').
