INSTALLING THE TRAVELER HARDWARE

USING THE TRAVELER WITH A MIXER
While there are many ways to use the Traveler with
an external mixer, typically the Traveler serves as a
multi-channel “pipeline” between the mixer and
the computer. If your mixer is analog, connect the
analog section of the Traveler to your mixer. If your
mixer is digital, and it has ADAT optical I/O, you
can connect them optically as shown below in
Figure 4-8. The Traveler’s available analog, SPDIF
and AES/EBU inputs and outputs can serve as an
extension to the mixer I/O, but then you will
probably find yourself mixing in two places: the
mixer and the computer. A word of advice: if you
would like to use the Traveler with an external
mixer, use the mixer for mixing. Trying to mix
large multitrack projects in two places can become
very cumbersome very quickly.
