VI. External Links
External Links
is the control center of the DSP24 ADAT card. It controls the
monitoring of your PC based studio. Different studio envrionments (e.g. analog
mixing desk vs. PC as digital mixer) require different monitoring setups.
Sometimes you want to listen to the signal you are recording directly (hardware
monitoring). Sometimes you want to listen to a modified version of the signal (e.g.
processed by an effect processor) or you want to listen to a completly different
audio track whilst recording. This means that you need to be able to define what
exactly is played through each separate output channels of your audiocard.
External Links
allows you to do that, choose the way you like to work.
What is displayed by External Links?
The main screen of the software is divided into two main sections. The output
channels of the card are displayed on the left side of the window. The digital output
(
S/PDIF Out
), and also the 8 channels of the optical ADAT output are displayed
under the
ADAT
headline. The first output channel pair (
Output 1,2
) is
automatically used as analog monitoring output. The right section symbolizes the
I/O interface on the DSP24 ADAT card. The connectors on the left side (white
circles) are the available sources for the outputs.
