Master Section 10 – 251
Audio Input
The Audio Input is a special Master Section plug-in that allows you to ren-
der a signal coming in to a sound card’s input(s) together with any Master
Section effects. This signal can be anything your sound card accepts, for
example a feed from a mixer, a tape recorder or a microphone. An ASIO
driver is required to use Audio Input.
You set it up as follows:
The first step is to designate which ASIO inputs should be used. This is
done in the Preferences–Audio device tab:
1. Click the “Connections…” button to open the ASIO Audio Connections
dialog.
2. Select which inputs to record from in the “External gear connections”
section and close the Preferences dialog.
Note that you only have to set the ASIO inputs – the External ASIO outputs are not relevant
for Audio Input.
3. Click in the top Master Section effect slot, and select “Audio Input” from
the ASIO sub-menu.
• You can only use one instance of this plug-in, and it has be loaded into the
top effect slot. Also, as long as the Audio Input plug-in is loaded, wave play-
back is not possible.
4. The Audio input control panel appears, allowing you to set the desired
number of inputs and the sample rate.
5. To monitor the Audio input, press Play on the transport.
Normal wave playback will not happen (the cursor will not move), but the Play button will be
lit, and you can now monitor the input source. Pressing Stop will stop input monitoring.
• If you change the settings in the control panel, press Stop and restart
playback to apply them.
Note that if you are using any non-multichannel plug-ins in the Master Section effect chain,
these are limited to two channels! You will also have to activate the required number of inputs
in the ASIO Connections dialog to match the number of inputs selected here. A warning mes-
sage will appear if any of the above criteria don’t match the selected number of inputs.
