Tuning the room music — You diligently arrived to the venue before anyone else and want to tune
the room via your playlist. Yep, this is it. You might have bands and/or albums you like to tune rooms
with, but some of the standards are Steely Dan, Toto and Mark Knoper / Dire Straits.
• Pink, white, brown, etc. noise — Does your audio equipment need to be calibrated?
Have some noise generators set up for playback.
• A-440 sine wave — Possibly the band needs to tune to standard A-440 tuning. A sine wave is the
perfect solution. Well, perfect until the band is tuned up. It could get annoying after a few minutes.
As you can see from these suggestions, stereo playback is extremely useful, especially when its controlled
wirelessly from an iPad.
Now that the hard drive is formatted, it’s time to add some les to it for playback. Please follow along.
• Step 1 — The rst step is to remove the hard drive from the DL32R. This can be accomplished one
of two ways: (1) Tap the “Eject button located just above the “Format button – and if you’ve been
following along, you know exactly where the “Format button is located – then remove the hard drive.
Or (2) turn the DL32R mixer o, wait 2-3 seconds, then remove the hard drive.
• Step 2 — Connect the hard drive to Mac or PC.
• Step 3 — If they aren’t there already, add two folders to the hard drive, one named “Music
and the second named “Recordings”. Be sure that these are spelled exactly as-is or it won’t work!
More on this later.
• Step 4 — On the computer, open the folder containing the mono or stereo 48 kHz .wav les you wish
to transfer to the portable hard drive.
Supported les — The .wav le must be 48 kHz in order for playback to work on the DL32R.
AAC, MP3, AIFF and 44.1 kHz .wav les will not play. However, there are many audio apps
(including iTunes) that will convert the les for you.
