Applications and Modes of Operation
MixDream XP in Mastering Applications
Your MixDreamXP is predestined for mastering applications, as we‘ve planned its superior sound quality for just such occa- sions.
Two applications are especially interesting: 1) discrete Mastering, and 2) upsampling to
1)Normally a studio mastering engineer requires that a stereo file be made available for his or her work. But in such a mixdown, any problems (for example, significant variations in volume among instrumental subgroups) will mean equally significant limitations to your final mastering options. Instead, however, if one masters from a discrete mix with single tracks or subgroups, each of these can be adjusted just as easily and quickly in the mastering
2)Multichannel sessions can be summed in the infinite reso- lution of analog signal processing equipment, something that may also be of special importance when an engineer wishes to upsample to SACD or
Linking Several MixDream XP
An expansion connector provides for a second MixDreamXP input should 16 channels not suffice. IMPORTANT: The Main Outputs of the second MixDreamXP must be connected to the Expansion Inputs of the first unit; do not connect both
Expansion Inputs.
If more than two MixDreamXP are to be summed, we recom- mend to employ a further MixDreamXP as
In such a chain One MixDreamXP is connected to the Expansion
Inputs while all other units are connected to the usual (DB25)
Input Channels (see graphic on the next page).
