Using The Mixer With Computers - Alesis Multimix 8 USB FX User Manual

B. If your music player is plugged into
channel 2, this diagram shows ideal
starting knob settings:
In this scenario, the LEVEL 1 knob will control the
MIC level. LEVEL 2 controls the MUSIC level. With
music playing and the LEVEL 2 knob in the straight up
(noon) position, turn up the black GAIN knob slowly
to get your starting music volume adjusted. The
MAIN MIX knob controls the overall level of the MIC
and MUSIC blended together.
With the MAIN MIX and the LEVEL 1 knobs in
the straight up (noon) position, speak into your
microphone and use the black GAIN knob on channel
1 to set the general level for your microphone.
Pay attention to the red CLIP and PEAK lights. If they
light up when you speak into your microphone, the
GAIN is set too high.
The red AUX knobs control the level of sound going
to the speakers in the room. This only affects what
the instructor hears and does not affect the sound
going into the video stream for the audience to hear.
The AUX PRE knobs adjust how much of each sound
source go to the speakers.
While playing music from your music player, slowly
bringup the AUX PRE knob on channel 5/6 until you
get the desired sound level in the room.
If microphone signal is needed in the speakers, turn
up the AUX PRE knob on Channel 1 slowly while
talking into the microphone until the desired level
is achieved through the speakers. In most cases,
we recommend leaving this turned down as low as
possible to avoid feedback or echo.
7. On Windows or Mac computers' sound settings, the mixer will appear as Line (USB AUDIO CODEC).
