Resumen del manual
Since 1984, we've been designing and building creative tools for the audio community. We believe in our products, because we've heard the results that creative people like you have achieved with them. One of Alesis' goals is to make high-quality studio equipment available to everyone, and this Reference Manual is an important part of that. After all, there's no point in making equipment with all kinds of capabilities if no one explains how to use them. So, we try to write our manuals as carefully as we build our products. The goal of this manual is to get you the information you need as quickly as possible, with a minimum of hassle. We hope we've achieved that. If not, please drop us an email and give us your suggestions on how we could improve future editions of this manual. We hope your investment will bring you many years of creative enjoyment and help you achieve your musical goals. Sincerely, The people of Alesis For more effective service and product update notices, please register your MultiMix USB2.0 mixer online at: index.php?registration Introduction About the MultiMix USB2.0 The MultiMix USB2.0 mixers are the latest in the large family ofAlesis audio mixers and the fourth series that includes computer interfacing (following on the launch of the MultiMix USB mixers in 2004, the MultiMix FireWire mixers in 2005, and the iMultiMix8 USB-with-iPod mixer in 2007). We’ve come a long way since introducing our first mixing consolein 1989. Since that time audio technology has grown in leaps and bounds, pushing up quality and driving down prices. Only a few years ago, you wouldn’t have been able to buy a mixer with analog performance this powerful for such an affordable price, and the addition of multichannel, 96kHz computer audio interfacing would have been a pipe dream. Just take a look at the key featureslisted below, and you’ll see that you have just made an incredible addition to your home studio or live setup. All-In-One Mixer and Multichannel Computer Audio Interface The MultiMix USB2.0 consoles give you just about everything youneed to create polished, professional-sounding mixes both live and within a computer-based recording studio. When designing this unit, our goal was to give you as much control over your mixes aspossible without requiring a wealth of extra equipment. That’s whywe added tools like the digital effects processor, the mic preamps, and the dedicated control room output. The MultiMix USB2.0 is also a full-duplex, multichannel computer recording interface device. Not only can you record every channel independently, but you can also record the MAIN mix channels. To get you started with computer-based recording, we even include a well-specified Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software program. With a multitude of ways in which to connect other equipment and instruments, the MultiMix USB2.0 offers endlesspossibilities. Important: download the drivers from onto afolder on your desktop or insert the software DVD into your computer’s DVD drive BEFORE you plug your MultiMix into your computer for the first time. See page 25 for details.
