The Lynx Mixer, which is installed during setup,
provides software control of the features of the
AES16 and a visual indication of audio signal
level during recording and playback. It can be
used dynamically to change operational settings
of the AES16, but in most cases once the settings
are configured for a particular studio installation
they require no further adjustment.
6.1.1 Starting the Mixer
Windows: After installation, the Lynx Mixer icon, will appear on the Windows Quick Launch bar in the lower
portion of your screen.
By clicking on this icon, the Lynx Mixer will launch. If you do not have the Windows Quick Launch bar activated,
the Lynx Mixer can be started be selecting “Start > Programs > Lynx Studio Technology > LynxTWO Mixer.”
Macintosh: In OS X, the Lynx Mixer can be launched by clicking the “LynxTWO Mixer” icon in the OS X sidebar:
Or by clicking the LynxTWO Mixer in the Applications folder.
In OS9, you can access the Lynx Mixer by clicking the ASIO control panel from within your audio application.
6.1.2 General Operation
If you are simply recording and playing digital audio without synchronizing to an external clock source, you can
begin using the AES16 by simply selecting the AES16 audio devices in your application software.
Typically, it is convenient to keep the Mixer running on your desktop to monitor signal levels or to allow immediate
access to Mixer controls requiring dynamic changes. The Mixer can be forced to appear on top of other applications
by selecting the “Always On Top” option in the Settings pull-down menu.
6.1.3 Mixer Configuration Recall
The state of the Mixer settings are saved each time your computer is shut down. The stored settings are
automatically recalled the next time your computer is restarted.
