Introduction

This guide contains step-by-step walk-throughs of basic recording operations using
PatchMix DSP and a variety of popular software applications. We encourage you to
perform the steps on your computer as you read so that you become familiar with the
process. The first tutorial only takes about half an hour to complete, by which time you
should be comfortable with multitrack recording using your new Digital Audio System.
Once you're up and recording, you can find detailed information on all aspects of
PatchMix DSP and your E-MU interface hardware in the pdf Owner's Manual.

Before you Begin

• You should have already installed the E-MU hardware and software on your
computer according to the instructions in your printed "Getting Started" manual.
• You should hear the computer sounds coming out of the E-MU hardware and your
speakers when you play a CD or an MP3 using Windows Media Player. If not, make
sure your E-MU hardware is properly connected according to the diagrams in the
"Getting Started" and "Owner's Manual".
• A source of audio should be connected to the inputs (instr./tape/cd/MP3 player).

The Product Default Session

Before we begin, you should verify that the Product Default session is selected. This
session has everything connected for you. A Session is a stored connection/mixer setup.
You can create your own custom Sessions later on if you wish.
