Mackie 1220i CONTROL ROOM FW, ASSIGN TO MAIN MIX, FIREWIRE PRE/POST, INPUT (LINE or FW 1-2)

FireWire also provides a return for two channels from your computer to your mixer:

•These can be routed through the control room/phones via the FW 1-2 button, to monitor the computer audio through your control room speakers or headphones (or through the main speakers if assign to main mix is selected).

•Alternatively, these same two channels can be routed through channels 11 and 12, and treated just like any other channel, with adjustment for gain, EQ, level, and pan, as well as to solo, and add to the main mix and aux send 1 and 2. In this way, your stereo computer source can be used alongside the other channels as "just another source" in the band, such as a virtual instrument, or the output of a guitar going through amp-modelling software. This routing is done using the FW/line input selector switch on channels 11/12.

•Note: Route the two channels from your computer through the control room/ headphones or through channels 11 and 12. Do not use both.

CONTROL ROOM FW 1-2

If this is engaged, you can listen to FireWire 1 and 2 playback from your computer in the control room and headphones. This can also be added to the main mix if control room assign to main mix is engaged. See below.

ASSIGN TO MAIN MIX

Engage the control room FW 1-2 switch and the "assign to main mix" switch to play two tracks directly from your computer through the control room/phones source matrix and into the main mix. This is great for listening to iTunes® or other pre-recorded material from your computer.

to your computer or DAW. The FireWire output from each channel can be tapped before (pre) or after (post) the channel EQ. (The output is pre-fader.)

If you want the mixer EQ to affect the FireWire recording, then set this switch to post. This is useful in recording channels in a studio (where the recording includes the beneficial effect of our Perkins EQ).

If you would rather record the straight signals from a live performance, and EQ them later in your DAW, then set this switch to pre. This is good for live work, where you may have added EQ to adjust for the room, and yet not want this added to your recording.

INPUT (LINE or FW 1-2)

Channel 11 and 12 can either be fed from the 1/4" stereo line-level inputs, or by FireWire outputs

1 and 2 from your computer. This switch lets you choose which to use. Either way, channels 11 and 12 receive line-level analog audio signals just prior to the gain control, so channel setup, gain adjustment and EQ adjustment are the same for line or FireWire.
