1.4.8. Use AudioFuse Studio without a computer

AudioFuse Studio is a standalone product, meaning it can work without a computer as a
mixer and monitor controller. To do this:
1. Connect your analog and digital devices to the inputs of AudioFuse Studio.
2. Connect the AudioFuse outputs to your speakers.
3. Connect the AudioFuse to the computer.
4. Launch AudioFuse Control Center and create up to three mixes (Main, Cue 1 and
Cue 2) from the inputs.
Now you can unplug the computer and the AudioFuse Studio hardware will continue to
mix your inputs even if a computer is no longer present. Your mix settings are saved in
AudioFuse Studio so even if you switch off the interface, the settings will be remembered
next time you restart the unit. All speaker and headphone related features (volume control,
source select, mute, dim and mono modes) also continue to work, meaning there is quite a
lot of functionality at your fingertips even if the computer is no longer present.

1.4.9. Using Phones 2 to Control Speaker B

AudioFuse Studio has the ability to route the second headphone output signal to the Speaker
B output. Since the signal being routed is sourced after the headphone volume control knob,
it means that you can use the second headphone's "Level" knob to control the loudness level
of speaker B. This gives you independent volume control of Speaker Output A (via the Master
Volume knob) and Speaker Output B (via the Phones 2 Level knob) thus having both speaker
outputs A & B playing audio simultaneously with Phones 2 volume controlling the Speaker
B's output level.
This option can be set in the AudioFuse Control Center. Please refer to that
Manual [p.45] to learn how to do this.

1.4.10. Loopback Mode

AudioFuse Studio includes two additional "loopback" input channels (USB channels 17-18) that
are not accessed through the front or rear panels of the interface. They are connected to
a dedicated USB record stream, so the output of any application on your computer can be
"looped back" and recorded directly into your music software. This saves you from having to
physically connect the outputs (the outputs of your application) to a pair of available inputs
that your music software can then record.

1.4.11. Talkback on ADAT 1-2

AudioFuse Studio's Talkback microphone can be routed to its Speaker, Phones 1, Phones 2,
ADAT Output 1-2 or any combination of these outputs through the AudioFuse Control Center
application. Routing Talkback to ADAT 1-2 enables sending talkback to an external ADAT
expander unit such as the AudioFuse 8Pre. In this case, if the AudioFuse 8Pre ADAT input
1-2 is routed to its headphone output, then the talkback is heard on headphone output of
AudioFuse 8Pre. This can be very useful in scenarios where the AudioFuse 8Pre is set up in
another room in the studio.
