4. Follow Instructions — Follow all operating and other instructions. 5. Water and Moisture — Do not use HUI near water — for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, in the rain, near a swimming pool, or next to a sweat-gushing, 300-lb.
But before we break on through to the other side of this page we’d like you to do a few things: 1. Write down the serial number of your HUI in the box prepared especially for you on this page. Keep in mind one of the corollaries to Murphy’s Law: The very act of writing down the...

HUI. HUI SELF-DEMO Perform the Self-Demo (Optional) Before you go all the way and connect HUI in your studio, you can perform this self-demo to make sure it lights up and works properly, and to get an idea of what HUI can do.
Okay, okay… let’s run some audio through HUI’s monitor section. If you already performed the self-demo, then you know the faders work. The next logical stage is to make sure that HUI works with audio connected, and with your DAW. Quick Start Audio Test The diagram below shows the simple audio connections you’ll need to make for the audio...
(or whatever MIDI software is compatible with your DAW), active, and properly configured on your computer. • Make sure HUI is defined as a device in your OMS setup (be sure the proper port, chan- nels, etc., are selected).
Makes it easy to enable (or defeat) all tracks for recording. Bypass switch. This switch allows you to bypass any channel inserts (hardware or DSP Plug-Ins) on any HUI channel(s) you have selected. Select/Assign switches and scribble REC/RDY strip.
VFD (vacuum fluorescent display) shows up to four Plug-Ins or up to eight Plug-In parameters. The VFD is also used to display general HUI info. Note: You can adjust the brightness of the VFD by pressing and holding the OPT/ALL switch and repeatedly pressing the INSERT/ PARAM switch.
Function (“F”) keys. These keys pro- vide a number of special functions relating to the operation of the HUI. Refer to the table on page 31 in the “Specifications” section for de- tails. Auto Enable switches. These switches globally enable automation for FADER, MUTE, PAN, SEND, PLUG IN, and SEND MUTE.
Mute and Dim switches. Out of the box, the MUTE switch mutes all three MONITOR OUT- PUTS (including PHONES), while DIM lowers HUI’s monitor output level by a set amount (de- fault is 20dB). To assign mute and dim control to specific out- puts, press and hold the OPTION/ALL and MUTE or OPTION/ALL and DIM switches.
DAW to the end of the session. • ONLINE is used to bring your DAW online (or to take it offline), and indicates online status. HUI FEATURES AND CONTROLS • LOOP allows you repeatedly play back a section of your DAW session.
— it can either trigger something or be triggered by something. To remotely trigger HUI’s talkback function, con- nect a normally-open on/off footswitch to this jack. This is for the producer who loves to sit com- fortably back and communicate with the talent during crucial moments in a recording session.
MASTER VOLUME knob. The outputs are controlled by three sepa- rate output level controls and toggle switches (labeled OUTPUT 1, 2, and 3). HUI uses DCAs (digitally controlled amplifiers) to control in- ternal signal flow completely independent of the DAW.
INSERT jack, you may need to readjust the input level control for the DAW audio interface. Talkback Mic Though HUI has its own talkback mic on the front panel, you may want to connect an exter- nal talkback mic of your own. That’s why we’ve included a talkback mic preamp on the rear panel.
HUI. Note: This extra feature is not required in order to use HUI — it is there as a convenience to those who may need the extra length. The ADB specification limits the ADB cable length to 5 meters (about 16 feet).

APPLICATION HOOKUPS Some Application Basics One of the first things to consider when con- figuring your studio with HUI is what type of application suits you best. If you produce com- mercials for TV or radio, the TV/Radio Production Hookup may be your best bet. If you record and mix soundtracks for surround sound, you’ll probably set up your studio simi-...
Overdubbing: Accomplished by recording newly-enabled DAW tracks while monitoring DAW output of previously laid-down tracks through HUI MONITOR INPUT 3. The DAT/ HUI hookup (MONITOR OUTPUT 2) is for fi- nal mastering tasks. DAW Audio Interface 882 or 888 outputs...
Be sure the 1:1 DISCRETE button is switched on for the following applications. For 5.1 Surround-Sound On HUI’s rear panel, connect your DAW audio interface outputs to: Input 1 = L/R inputs Input 2 = L/R Surround inputs...
Full-On Major League Hookup Scenario: Any audio application with a plethora of inputs to stereo final master. HUI is the control room hub, so the mains or control room outputs of the mixer and DAW feed HUI. Source Material: Live audio, synths, sam- plers, multitracks, DAW tracks, etc.
It should point you in the general direc- tion of things to check, etc. Then proceed to the following pages to help you narrow down the problem. If you believe the problem is HUI related, see the Service section on page 27. Perform a HUI Hardware Self-Test HUI has a built-in self-test routine which can help you determine if the problem you’re...
Depending on how the DAW is configured for that channel, it may send a message back to HUI to turn on the fader motor. Again, you can observe the MIDI message activity by watching the MIDI interface I/O LEDs blink.
RA number. We normally send packages via UPS Blue (second-day air). But, if you rush your HUI to us via air mail, we’ll do the same for the return trip. This does not necessarily apply to non-warranty service.

Abbreviation for virtual potentiometer, the V- Pot is considered a “soft knob” because it performs various functions determined by the DAW software being used with HUI. It acts as a continuous or variable controller and also re- flects current value or position via its surrounding 12-segment LED collar.
