USB Port

The console contains a USB 2.0 interface, available via the
USB Type B connector on the rear panel, to enable audio to
pass between the console and a USB port on a computer. Audio
coming back from the computer via USB shows up as a stereo
analog signal on the Line 8 fader. Audio to the computer will
be from the AUDIOARTS 08 PGM bus.

Using the USB Port . . .

Any computer having a USB port and installed drivers capable of passing and utilizing
digital audio data should work with the AUDIOARTS 08 USB port. Use a cable having a
USB Type B connector on the AUDIOARTS 08 end and a connector on the other end that
will mate with the computer's USB port; this will typically be a USB Type A connector.

. . . With a MAC

In general, this will be a plug-and-play process. The main concern is to choose the
USB Audio Codec under System Preferences>Sound as desired for audio input and/or
output. Then simply start the application.
. . . With a Windows
When you first connect the AUDIOARTS 08 USB port to a PC running Windows you
will see the famous "found new hardware" sequence of messages. At some point this
sequence should end with a message that the new hardware is installed and ready to use.
Setting up any given application to use the AUDIOARTS 08 USB port will depend
on the application itself. Generally, you will need to select the appropriate device from a
list of devices in a Preferences dialog.
As an example, let's look at Audacity. Audacity is a free, easy-to-use, multi-track audio
editor and recorder for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and other operating systems.
It allows you to easily select audio inputs and outputs.
Select the USB Audio CODEC for input and output. You will be able to record audio
from the AUDIOARTS 08 console and when you play it back, the audio will appear on
the 8 IN fader, unless you have an audio source plugged into the 8 IN RJ-45 connector.

Other Computers

If your computer does not use one of the above operating systems, or otherwise behaves
differently than described above, consult the documentation for that computer, operating
system, and/or application.
