MAC CONFIGURATION
1.Turn on your computer and the M1USB.
2.Use a USB cable to connect one (or both) ports of the M1USB to your computer.
3.Windows will immediately recognize the mixer as a “USB Audio Device” or “USB Audio CODEC”.
To change system audio preferences on a
Mac, you will need to access the Audio MIDI
Setup preferences located in Applications
Utilities.
Note: If you have connected both USB ports to your computer, the ports will be numbered in the order they were connected. For example, if you connected USB A before USB B, USB A will appear as “USB Audio CODEC” and USB B will appear as “USB Audio CODEC (2)”.
To send audio from your computer into the M1USB, select “USB Audio CODEC” in the Default Output field. This allows you to play audio from your computer into one of either of the mixer channels, depending on which USB port is used to make the connection.
To send audio from the M1USB to your computer, select “USB Audio CODEC” in the Default Input field. This allows you to record your mix into your computer.
Tip: We recommend leaving the System Output field set to
Note: If your sound playback or recording application does not have its own audio input and output settings (for example, Apple iTunes), it will use the devices set in Audio MIDI Setup. Please note that these settings are loaded upon application startup, so if you change device settings while the application is open, you will need to restart your application for the settings to take effect.
USING BOTH USB PORTS SIMULTANEOUSLY
Since the M1USB has 2 USB ports, you can attach a different computer to each USB jack or you can connect both jacks to a single computer. Each USB jack on the mixer will appear as a separate USB audio device to your computer. You can play two audio files simultaneously from one computer and send both of those audio streams to separate channels of your mixer by using two USB cables.
If you do this, we suggest using one of the many commercially available software programs that support multiple sound cards.
However, if you don’t have software like that, you can use two separate software media players instead. To do this you need to start the first media player, then change the Preferred Audio Device to the second USB port, then start your second media player.
Note: Some applications (like Windows Media Player) will not allow you to have multiple instances running simultaneously. When you try to open a second file, the first one will stop playing and the second file will be loaded. To get around this, you can use different players to play the second file. For example, use Windows Media Player to play channel 1, and Musicmatch Juke Box player for channel 2.
Note: Please keep in mind that not all media players will “remember” what sound card they were using at the time of launch.
