LIVE RECORDING WITH MONITOR MIXING
Choose the Live recording with monitor mixing
preset when you are tracking in the studio. The
setup is pretty much the same as for the “Interface
+ mixer” preset discussed in the previous section,
shown in Figure 5-3 on page 48. All physical inputs
on the interface are routed to both the computer
(for recording) and the Main Mix and Monitor
busses in the mixer (for near-zero latency
monitoring).
STAGE I/O
Use the Stage I/O preset when you want to route
audio inputs from musicians and instruments on
stage to another location over Ethernet cabling.
This preset routes all inputs and outputs on the
MOTU AVB interface to 8-channel AVB network
streams in the routing grid, which are then
broadcast to any/all other devices on the same AVB
Ethernet network.
Single AVB Ethernet “snake”
For example, you could have a single Ethernet cable
running from a 24Ai on stage to a 24Ao at the Front
of House (FOH) mixer.
Figure 5-4: An example of using the Stage I/O preset. 24Ai analog
inputs are routed to network streams. Those streams are carried over
the network cable to the 24Ao, which streams them to its analog
outputs going going to the mixing console. The computer rig is
optional and can be used for backup recording of the performance.
