Audio setup in your DAW with RedNet Control
Whatever DAW you are using, it will provide a method of selecting which RedNet audio channel feeds
each track. Please refer to your DAW’s documentation or Help files if you are unsure about this.
The RedNet PCIe/ PCIeR card will be detected automatically by your DAW and added to the list
of available audio sources. Depending on your particular DAW, it may be necessary to select it as
the active I/O device manually; other systems may set it as the default device on detection. From
the Audio I/O Setup (name will differ between DAWs), you can select which of RedNet’s 128 input
channels constitutes the audio source for each track in use. Similarly you can route each track to any
of the 128 output channels available. Please note to operate RedNet PCIe/ PCIeR with Pro Tools
TM
you will need to activate “Pro Tools Mode” in RedNet Control on all Windows systems.
