Page 26: Bus Select
Console Software Bus Select The output bus select panel is the area outlined in green. Five different output busses are shown here: four analog busses in the top row and one digital bus on the bottom row. Each bus has its own button marked with either an A or D (Analog or Digital) and a channel number pair. -
Page 27: Analog Inputs
Console Software The gang button, marked with a “G,” sets the gang mode. If you are in gang mode, the mute buttons and nominal level buttons will work together for the left and right channels; for example, clicking the mute on one channel activates the mute button on the other channel. -
Page 28: Digital Inputs
Console Software Below the peak meters are the input monitor controls starting with the monitor pan slider. This control changes how the input channel is monitored between the two channels of the currently selected output bus. Holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on a pan slider will set the slider to the center position. -
Page 29: Adjusting Playback Volume
Console Software Adjusting Playback Volume Output volume adjustments are made in the digital domain. When you lower a volume fader below 0dB, you are actually decreasing the number of available bits, thereby taking away from the potential dynamic range of the system. Therefore, we suggest that whenever possible you leave the output faders (Playback &... -
Page 30: Synchronizing Multiple Devices
Console Software Synchronizing Multiple Devices Layla3G and Gina3G are designed to work alongside other audio equipment. If you are planning on using Layla3G or Gina3G with other audio equipment, please note the following: The Windows drivers included in this package support multiple Echo products within the same system. - Page 31 Console Software S/PDIF – The Sony/Phillips Digital Interchange Format is a serial bit-stream that has a clock signal embedded in the data stream. When recording from an S/PDIF source, whether via optical cables or RCA cables, Layla3G & Gina3G will utilize the synchronization clock that is embedded in the S/PDIF while they decode the bit-stream.

Page 33: Console Settings
Console Software Console Settings Clicking the Settings button above the playback strips shows a dialog box for altering console settings. The Settings dialog gives you six different tabs to choose from: “Driver,” “Console,” “Digital,” “GSIF,” “Surround,” and “About.” Driver Here you can do two things: lock the sample rate and tell the driver whether or not to synchronize wave devices. -
Page 34: Locking The Sample Rate
Console Software Locking the Sample Rate Locking the sample rate can be very important, since Windows will frequently try to set the hardware to the highest rate it supports. Then, Windows sample rate converts between that rate and the rate at which you are playing or recording. For instance, you may be trying to play at 44.1 kHz, but Windows sets the hardware to 96 kHz and converts between the two. -
Page 35: Console Sessions
Console Software Console Sessions Console settings can be saved as a console session to be reloaded later. To save a console session, click the “Save” button in the console. To load a previously saved session, press the Load button in the console. The current session can be “fast saved”... -
Page 36: Digital I/O
Console Software Digital I/O This lets you set the format of your S/PDIF outputs. Layla3G and Gina3G can transmit digital information in either of two formats: “professional” or “consumer.” The primary difference between the two is in the implementation of the SCMS copy protection bit, which, in the Consumer format, prevents the user from making digital copies of a digital copy. -
Page 37: Gsif
Console Software GSIF This window allows you to set the latency of GigaStudio in terms of samples. Select the value here that provides the best tradeoff between performance and reliability.

Page 41: Appendix A: General Troubleshooting Guide
Appendix A: Troubleshooting Guide Appendix A: General Troubleshooting Guide Problem: When you try to install the drivers from the CDROM, Windows gives you an error message. Solution: There are several things that could be causing the driver installation to fail. First, if you are trying to install the drivers on Windows 2000 or XP you must be logged in as an Administrator. - Page 42 Appendix A: Troubleshooting Guide Error code 1628 Follow the instructions at the website below: http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q108464 Other error codes The ones listed above are the most common, but if you get a different error code try looking at this list for help: http://consumer.installshield.com/common.asp?source=all Problem: You installed your Echo product and restarted Windows.
- Page 43 Appendix A: Troubleshooting Guide Problem: You are running Windows 2000 or XP and your computer spontaneously reboots on you. Solution: You have probably experienced what Microsoft calls a “bug check”, but what everyone else calls the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). The default setting for the BSOD is not to show the BSOD, but to reboot the computer.
- Page 44 Appendix A: Troubleshooting Guide equipment, this copy-protection bit can be turned off or on according to the user’s needs. In consumer products, the SCMS bit is always enabled. Unfortunately there is no way for the transmitting device to automatically detect which format the receiving device is able to accept.
- Page 45 Appendix A: Troubleshooting Guide doesn’t mean they are synchronized. Next, be sure that you have selected the desired input clock source in the Console for your Echo product. Problem: Recordings made using the S/PDIF input contain occasional pops or skips. Solution: When recording with the S/PDIF input, you must manually select the S/PDIF clock as the input clock.

Page 46: Appendix B: Multi-Client Audio Faq
Appendix B: Multi-client audio FAQ Appendix B: Multi-client audio FAQ Q: What is “Multi-client audio”? Multi-client audio is a feature that lets you use different inputs and outputs on your Echo product with different software applications at the same time. This way, you can use several different audio applications with just one Echo product. - Page 47 Appendix B: Multi-client audio FAQ You should also turn off your system sounds. Most system sounds tend to be at 11 kHz or 22 kHz. Imagine that you're recording the best guitar solo of your life and someone clicks on something on the screen. The 22 kHz system sound will play out of an unused output and drop the sample rate of the whole system to 22, ruining your take.
- Page 48 Appendix B: Multi-client audio FAQ Q: What's the downside to all this? The main downside is that your computer may very well have a hard time keeping up! If you fire up three different audio apps at once, your computer is probably going to struggle unless you have a really hot machine.

Page 49: Appendix C: Windows Driver Model (Wdm) Faq
Appendix C: Windows Driver Model (WDM) FAQ Appendix C: Windows Driver Model (WDM) FAQ Q: What is a WDM driver and why should I care? WDM stands for “Windows Driver Model.” A few years ago Microsoft realized they were asking hardware manufacturers to write a lot of different drivers: support for Windows NT, Windows 95, support for the wave API, support for DirectSound, etc. - Page 50 Appendix C: Windows Driver Model (WDM) FAQ So you can see that there are several layers of software interposed between our driver and the application. This means we don’t have as much control over the interaction between our hardware and the audio software as we’d like. Unfortunately, this causes some pain;...

Page 52: Appendix D: Audio Software Guide
Appendix D: Audio Software Guide Appendix D: Audio Software Guide You can use your Echo product with any audio software that supports the standard Windows audio APIs, WDM Direct KS, ASIO, and GSIF. That’s a lot of audio software! For most of them, all you need to do is read the software manual to learn how to use them with your Echo product. - Page 53 Appendix D: Audio Software Guide 2.0 Direct Monitoring”. This will cause our ASIO driver to reject any Direct Monitoring commands and prevent the mute on startup. Of course, it also means that you can’t use Direct Monitoring. Using SONAR Here are the required settings for using SONAR with our driver: Note: The settings below will need to be reset every time you reconfigure your wave devices.

Page 54: Appendix E: Purewave And Superchannel
Appendix E: PureWave and SuperChannel Appendix E: PureWave and SuperChannel What is PureWave? While the Windows WDM audio architecture is fine for consumer applications such as games and watching DVDs, it is not entirely suitable for professional audio applications. PureWave is an Echo-exclusive feature that gives your audio applications a more direct connection to your Echo hardware, allowing your audio data to pass through unmodified. - Page 55 Appendix E: PureWave and SuperChannel PureWave versus WDM With the WDM driver, you can run each wave device in either WDM mode or PureWave mode. Here’s a chart explaining the differences between the two. WDM wave PureWave Audio data may be resampled, Audio data is sent to the hardware dithered, or otherwise modified unchanged...

- Page 57 Appendix E: PureWave and SuperChannel Vegas 3 PureWave Wavelab PureWave or ASIO WinAmp PureWave WinDVD This list is far from comprehensive. As a general rule, if your professional audio software offers ASIO or WDM Direct KS (kernel-streaming) modes then you should use those.
- Page 58 Appendix E: PureWave and SuperChannel What is SuperChannel? SuperChannel is an Echo-exclusive feature that allows you to customize how the various inputs and outputs on your Echo hardware are presented to Windows. When the WDM driver is first installed, the hardware is presented as a list of stereo inputs and outputs.
- Page 59 Appendix E: PureWave and SuperChannel Now you have only three wave devices – a six channel device addressing the first six analog outputs, a stereo device addressing the next two analog outs, and finally an eight channel device for the eight digital outputs. This is the basic idea of SuperChannel –...
- Page 60 Appendix E: PureWave and SuperChannel Wave device configuration You can use the “Wave device configuration” window to set up both PureWave and SuperChannel mode. This allows you to customize how your audio hardware is presented to Windows applications. To access the “Wave device configuration” window, open the console, click on the “Settings”...
- Page 61 Appendix E: PureWave and SuperChannel PureWave buffer size – This box controls the overall latency of the PureWave driver. The lower the value, the lower the latency. You can try different values to find the best possible latency for your system. The controls found in the Outputs and Inputs sections of the Wave device configuration window work identically.
- Page 62 Appendix E: PureWave and SuperChannel Once you have completed your changes, hit OK or Apply. On Windows 2000 and XP, you will be asked if you want to “Update now”, or “Wait until the computer restarts”. If you choose to “Update now”, your computer will be unresponsive for a period of time after clicking OK while the driver restarts.

Page 71: Appendix G: An Introduction To Digital Recording
Appendix G: An Introduction to Digital Recording Appendix G: An Introduction to Digital Recording Converting Sound into Numbers In a digital recording system, sound is represented as a series of numbers, with each number representing the voltage, or amplitude, of a sound wave at a particular moment in time. - Page 72 Appendix G: An Introduction to Digital Recording Each digit in the number is called a bit. The binary numbers expressed in figure A are sixteen bits long, and have a maximum value of 65,535. The more bits that are used to store the sampled value, the more closely it will represent the source signal. In a 16-bit system, there are 65,535 possible combinations of zeroes and ones;...
- Page 73 Appendix G: An Introduction to Digital Recording Also important to the quality of a digital recording is the frequency with which the samples are stored, called the sample rate. In order for a waveform to be faithfully digitized, it must be sampled at a minimum of twice the highest frequency to be stored.
- Page 74 Appendix G: An Introduction to Digital Recording level of analog audio signals. The most common are dBu and dBV decibels. Both of these represent voltage levels and still double for every increase of 6dB. It is only the reference point, or 0dB level that is different. A 0dBV signal has a voltage level of 1.0 volts.
- Page 75 Appendix G: An Introduction to Digital Recording Unbalanced and Balanced Inputs and Outputs An unbalanced signal, commonly used for guitars and consumer electronics, contains two components, a ground signal and a “hot” or active signal. The ground is the barrel of a ¼” connector and the shell of an “RCA” style connector. A balanced signal contains two active signals instead of one in addition to the ground.
- Page 76 Appendix G: An Introduction to Digital Recording Balanced signals connect with either XLR connectors or TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) connectors. Your Echo product uses XLR connectors for microphones and TRS connectors for connecting balanced (or unbalanced) line level signals. The three sections of a TRS connector are used to transmit the three components of a balanced signal (T = plus, R = minus, S = ground).
- Page 77 Appendix G: An Introduction to Digital Recording In answering the second question, consider the fact that music is often compressed or amplified after it is recorded, and that some headroom is necessary when recording to avoid clipping. The only way that 96dB would be adequate is if all music were recorded so that the peaks were just under full-scale and no compressing or amplification was going to be applied after recording.
