Mixer Configuration Summary
To quickly configure a mixer that will send your selected inputs to your studio monitors and to your
computer:
1. Select the Mixer » Configure Mixer… menu command.
2. Create a Mix Bus as described in “To Create a Mix Bus” below.
3. Add input channels as described in “To Add an input channel to a Mix Bus” below. Be sure to
add some physical inputs and some DAW inputs so you can route both physical and computer
inputs through the mixer.
4. When you have finished Enabling the input channels you wish in your mixer, click the Configure
button in the Configure Mixer sheet to create your mixer.
5. In the Input channel strips for each of your physical inputs, click on the Direct Output pop-up
menu (either pre- or post-send, up to you), select "Auto." This assigns each Input strip to a FireWire
output.
6. In the Master Strip, click the Bus Output pop-up menu and select the physical outputs to which
your studio monitors are connected.
That’s it! You’ve just created your first v.5 mixer. You can now route the audio signal from your Mobile I/
O’s physical inputs to your computer, from your computer to your Mobile I/O, and connected the mixer
to your studio monitors.
