USB OPERATION
The M1USB is equipped with two USB ports which allow you to play content from your computer through the mixer, or record audio from the mixer directly into your favorite software application. The USB interface on your mixer works with your computer just like a standard USB sound card. In addition, the USB interface is
WINDOWS 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” and will automatically install any required system components.
To change system audio preferences in Windows, you will need to access the Sounds and Audio Devices properties, located in the Control Panel. To access audio device settings, click on the Audio tab.
The first time you connect the M1USB to your computer, the mixer will be automatically assigned as the Default (or “Preferred”) Device for sound playback on your computer. All of your computer’s sounds will be sent to the mixer channel indicated above the USB connection.
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 Sound Playback 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 Sound Recording field. This allows you to record your mix into your computer.
Note: If your sound playback or recording application does not have its own audio input and output settings (for example, Windows Sound Recorder, Windows Media Player or Apple iTunes), it will use the devices set in Sounds and Audio Devices. 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.
Tip: To prevent Windows from playing system sounds (beeps and bleeps) through the M1USB, we highly recommend disabling these by clicking on the Sounds tab and selecting No Sounds from the
