Mixer Configuration Recall
The state of the Mixer settings are saved each time Windows is shut down. The stored
settings are automatically recalled the next time Windows is restarted.
Clock Source Requirements
A valid clock source signal must be connected to the appropriate LynxTWO clock
connector when the Sample Clock Source is set to either Digital, External, or Header.
If a signal is not present, the sample clock generator will run very slowly or erratically.
Symptoms of this problem include audio files that sound either fast, slow or garbled.
When a valid clock source is present, the frequency and type of clock signal must
match the Sample Clock Reference setting selected in the Mixer. The frequency of
word clock sources, chosen by setting the Sample Clock Source/Reference to either
Digital/Auto, External/Word, or Header/Word, must match the sample rate specified
when recording new files or the sample rate associated with a previously recorded file
during playback. For example, if a 44.1 kHz word clock is connected to the external
clock input, the Sample Clock Source/Reference must be set to External/Word and the
sample rate must be set to 44.1 kHz when a new file is being recorded in an application.
Failure to do so will result in files being recorded at the wrong sample rate.
Volume Faders and Signal Quality
The faders in the LynxTWO Mixer perform digital attenuation on audio signals in the
digital domain. The attenuation is applied to the digitized signals just prior to the D/A
converters.
As with any digital signal processing function, the digital attenuation calculations used
by the LynxTWO can introduce arithmetic errors that can add small amounts of noise
to signals. To insure the highest signal quality it is highly recommended that the
faders be left in their maximum position during critical recording and playback. In
this position, no attenuation calculations are performed.
Mono Recording and Playback Operation
When recording a file in mono, the LynxTWO will provide an audio signal from the
left channel only. The audio signal from right channel is not used. When playing back
a file in mono, the LynxTWO will send the signal to both the left and right outputs. To
force playback on a single output, turn up the volume for the desired output, and turn
down the volume for the output to be muted.
