Selecting Inputs and Outputs for the Audio Channels
This description assumes that you have set the number of audio channels so that it
corresponds with the number of output bus channels (16 if you have one DS2416
card installed). It also assumes that you want each audio channel in VST assigned to
a separate mixer channel strip in the DS2416 console. Of course, there are other
possible routings (you may want to send a combination of audio channels to a
Group or directly to the same DS2416 channel strip, you may want to reserve some
DS2416 channels for use as effect sends, etc).
1. Open the VST Channel Mixer.
2. Select Inputs for the channels by holding down [Command] and pulling down the In-
put pop-up menus at the top of the channel strips.
There should be eight Inputs available for each installed DS2416 card (four stereo Input
pairs). If Inputs are missing on the pop-up menu, make sure you have activated them in the
Inputs window on the Panels menu.
3. Route each audio channel pair to a separate Output Bus, by using the pop-up menus at
the bottom of the channel strips.
4. Pan the channels in each pair hard left/right, respectively.
Now, each audio channel is assigned to a separate channel strip in the DS2416 console.
Assigning Groups to the DS2416
You can assign the outputs of the Groups in the Group Mixer to the DS2416 buses
in the same way as with the audio channels, by using the pop-up menus at the bot-
tom of the Group Mixer strips.
• The normal setting would be to select the same Output Bus for the two sides, and then
pan the sides hard left/hard right.
Assigning Effect Sends to the DS2416
By assigning VST Effect Sends to one of the Output Buses, you route the send to a
channel strip in the DS2416 console. Note that this assignment is done individually
for the effect sends of each audio channel (by using the pop-up menus below the
send level knobs in the FX/EQ window). You can use this feature to address the on-
board effects in the DS2416, to create several different monitor mixes during play-
back, etc.
