This example demonstrates how to use the Digital X Bus with a digital audio workstation (DAW). Three MIC/LINE 4 cards provide up to 24 microphone and instrument inputs (12 Mic/Line inputs and 12 Line inputs). Three DIGI cards provide 24 output and input tracks to and from the DAW’s audio interface via ADAT lightpipe connections.

The SMPTE IN/OUTs on the SYNC card provide time code for the DAW. Two MIDI interfaces are used to achieve full 24-channels of MIDI communication between the Digital X Bus and the DAW via the USB. A LINE card provides line-level sends and returns for external effects, and the Internal Effects Rack in the Digital X Bus provides digital VST effects. The MIX OUT card provides a stereo line-level control room output and two stereo headphone outputs for monitoring the input sources.
