AUX SEND 1-6 to FW 9-14
Engage this button in the aux master section, and
a copy of the aux send 1-6 outputs can be sent via
FireWire to your computer. This makes it possible to set
up a software effects processor thus-wisely:
• Set any aux send (auxes 1-6) in post mode, by
pressing the post switch in the aux master
section.
• With "aux send 1-6 to FW 9-14" engaged, aux
sends 1-6 are available for your computer via
FireWire signals 9-14. (Mixer channels 9-14 are
no longer available to send via FireWire.)
• Pass aux 1-6 through your audio production
software running effects plug-ins.
• Return the processed output to mixer channels
1 and 2 (input switches set to FW 1 and FW 2).
• Alternatively bring the processed sounds into
the control room (engage FW 1-2) and add it to
the main mix (engage assign to main mix).
• You can even use the computer as up to six
separate mono in / stereo out processors. Have
aux 1 go into one plug-in, and aux 2 go into a
different one, and so on. The stereo outputs of
all plug-ins are combined back into the stereo
stream coming back in to the mixer. Again,
performance will vary based on system
hardware.
ASSIGN TO FW 15-16
Engage this button near the main fader, and
the main mix can be sent to your computer via
Firewire. The FireWire output is not affected
by the main mix fader, allowing you to record
the main mix of live performances. The left
main mix will appear on FireWire output
signal 15, and the right on signal 16. (When
this button is engaged, mixer channels 15-16
are not available to send via FireWire.)
Modifi cations:
The following FireWire modifi cations can be done by
an authorized service center. Authorized service centers
may be found online at:
www.mackie.com/scripts/service_centers/search.asp
Please contact our technical support department if you
are having trouble fi nding an authorized service center
in your area.
Post-Insert FireWire Sends
FireWire sends are pre-insert, but the circuit boards can
be modifi ed so that they are post-insert instead. This
allows for the use of an external processor on the mic
or line signal, sending the result to FireWire, while still
pre-EQ.
Post-Fader FireWire Sends
FireWire sends are pre-fader, but the circuit boards
can be modifi ed so that they are post-fader instead.
This allows the channel fader to control the level of the
FireWire sends from each channel.
