E-MU PCIe Digital Audio Systems 53 4 - The PatchMix DSP Mixer Main Section Output Section Clip Indicators Main Output Level Fader Sync/Sample Rate Indicators Main Insert Section Monitor Mute Monitor Balance Output Level Meters Monitor Volume Main Inserts The main inserts allow you to apply effects to the main stereo signal coming out of the mixer (both mains and monitor). These inserts work just like the other insert locations--just drag and drop effects from the palette or right-click and add Sends, Sends/Returns. Refer to the Mixer Block Diagram MAIN MIX 0dB 10 10 Main Output Fader The main output fader controls the level of the main output (and the Monitor output as well since it is downstream from this control). The normal setting for this control is at unity or 0dB, but the control allows you to add up to +12dB of gain. High output levels may cause clipping on outboard amplifiers or other equipment. -12dB 20 20 30 30 Output Level Meters This stereo bar-graph meter reflects the digital level at the output of the mixer. The peaks hold for a moment so that short transients can be monitored. Each bar = 1dB. 40 40 50 50 L R Monitor Output Level This control adjusts the monitor output level. Keep in mind that since the monitor level control comes after the Main Output Fader, nothing will be heard from your monitors if the main level is turned down. Hot Tip!The System Volume Control on your Mac or PC can be used to control the Monitor Output Level on PatchMix. Monitor Balance Control This control sets the relative volume of the stereo monitor outputs and works just like the balance control on your home music system. This control is primarily used to make the volume from each speaker sound equal if you are not sitting exactly in the center of the two speakers. Monitor Output Mute This button completely cuts off the monitor output and provides a convenient way to instantly kill all sound without having to re-adjust the monitor level later. When the telephone rings, just hit the monitor mute to cut the noise. 54 Creative Professional 5 - Effects Overview 5 - Effects Overview PatchMix DSP comes complete with a host of great core DSP effects including Compressors, Delays, Choruses, Flangers and Reverb. When an effects chain is selected and dropped into an insert location, all the effects with control settings are copied as a single entity. Once dropped into an insert location, the effects are totally separate just as if you had placed them individually. Select two or more effects and place them into any consecutive insert locations. Set the effect parameters the way you want them, including wet/dry mix settings. Select "Save FX Insert Chain. " The New FX preset dialog box appears. Select a category folder where your preset will be placed, and enter a new preset Trim pots, peak meters and test tone generators will also be included in the FX chain. name for your FX Chain. 6. Select a folder where your new preset will be placed, then type in a new preset name and click OK. Your preset is now saved. 56 Creative Professional 5 - Effects The Effects Palette The Order of Effects PatchMix DSP allows you to record your tracks without effects (dry) and monitor with effects enabled (wet). It works like this: If the effect is inserted BEFORE the ASIO send in the signal path, it will get recorded; if the effect is inserted AFTER the ASIO send, it will not be recorded. Recording dry allows you to hear your performance with effect (to get the proper feel), but gives you the flexibility to add or modify effects later during mixdown. This way if you don't like the way the effect sounds, you can change or modify the effect without having to perform the part again. Input 1L/1R If you want Effects to be recorded, insert them Above the ASIO Send.
