record back a final stereo mix that includes effects
processing from the Traveler-mk3 DSP (such as the
Leveler) for reference and archiving purposes.
Figure 7-2: The stereo return and reverb return busses from the
Traveler-mk3 in Digital Performer's Bundles window.
☛
Warning: the Return inputs can cause
feedback loops! DO NOT assign this input to a
track that shares the same Traveler-mk3 output
pair as the returns.
Reverb return
The Traveler-mk3 also supplies a return to Digital
Performer that carries the output of its reverb
processor (Figure 7-2). This return can be used for
any purpose you wish.
WORKING WITH TRAVELER-MK3 INPUTS
AND OUTPUTS
Once you've enabled the MOTU FireWire Audio
driver as explained earlier in "The Traveler-mk3
settings" on page 55, Traveler-mk3 audio inputs
and outputs will appear in Digital Performer's
audio input and output menus, as well as the
Bundles window (Figure 7-2). If you don't see the
optical inputs and/or outputs, check MOTU Audio
Setup to make sure they are turned on. If you don't
plan to use either optical bank, turn them off to
conserve computer bandwidth.

24-BIT OPERATION
Your Traveler-mk3 hardware fully supports Digital
Performer's 24-bit recording capabilities, including
both analog and digital 24-bit recording. If you
would like to record and play back 24-bit audio
files, go to the Audio Files options in the Digital
Performer Preferences (Digital Performer menu),
and choose 24-bit recording as the sample format.
This setting is saved with the Digital Performer
project.
MIDI I/O VIA THE TRAVELER-MK3 MIDI
PORTS
Once you've followed the procedure for enabling
the Traveler-mk3's MIDI features as explained in
"Software installation" on page 33, the
Traveler-mk3 MIDI ports will appear as an input
source and output destination in Digital
Performer's MIDI I/O menus.
PROCESSING LIVE INPUTS WITH DP
PLUG-INS
If you patch a live input (such as MIDI synthesizer)
through a plug-in effect in Digital Performer, you
might hear a slight delay. There are several ways to
reduce this delay. For details, see chapter 10,
"Reducing Monitoring Latency" (page 71).
WORKING WITH CUEMIX FX MIXING AND
EFFECTS
The Traveler-mk3 provides powerful external
mixing, EQ, compression and reverb, which you
can operate hand-in-hand with Digital Performer's
complete mixing environment. For example, the
Traveler-mk3 can serve as a monitor mixer routing
channels to musicians, or it can serve as an
integrated extension of your Digital Performer
mixing environment. If you program an
Traveler-mk3 mixing and processing configuration
that goes hand in hand with your DP project, be
sure to use the file save features in CueMix FX to
save the Traveler-mk3 settings as a file in your DP
project folder for instant recall of all settings. See
chapter 11, "CueMix FX" (page 77) for complete
