Tips and useful information.
Connections.
The connection-options of the Audio Systems EWS88 are huge. Professionals will know how to
connect the card with the external equipment: AUX sends, sub-groups, Tape channels and
Inserts are things you are certainly familiar with. As the EWS 88 is principally no different to a
tape-recorder, you can use most of the routings you already know from you console.
Here is a brief summary for beginners.
(Just) get started with the EWS88 MT.
On of the simplest applications is to run the EWS88 MT as a "normal" (Stereo) Sound card.
Outputs 1+2 are to be connected to your monitoring system (hi-fi-System; AUX-, Video, Tape or
CD-input). Inputs 1+2 are to be connected to the device, from which you wish to record. Digital
devices like MiniDisk or DAT-recorder can also be connected to the card, as well as any MIDI
Instruments you may have.
Always make sure: OUT goes to IN and vice versa. This also applies to MIDI

The EWS as a mixing desk.
The EWS88 MT gives you 8 analogue inputs (32, if you cascade 4 EWS88 MST!), And you could
use this card in place of a mixing desk, though there are no complex routings (i.e. subgroups),
equalization or effect-sends on offer. But simply merging all you channels using the EWS88,
makes this a viable alternative. Fast PCs could even include the functions of your sequencer.
For example, Cubase VST allows you to mix the card's input with (near) real-time effects.
EWS88 D and Mixdown
You might want to use the EWS88 D for transferring an external ADAT-signal to a different
format. For starters, you could transfer all 8 audio-channels directly to your hard-drive and
start editing them in your Wave-editor. The flexible routing and the digital mixer in the EWS88
allows you to mix all 8 channels and send them directly to the S/PDIF output and record these
with a DAT-Recorder for instance!
