SOUNDCRAFT SIGNATURE MTK RECORDING GUIDE

Finding the Correct Cable

The USB port on the Soundcraft Signature series is a ‘Type B’ connector (the standard type for all peripheral

devices). USB host devices use the rectangular ‘Type A’ connector. In order to achieve a connection between

console and host machine, a ‘Type A to Type B’ USB cable is required.

NOTE: USB cable quality can vary. Please ensure your USB cable’s integrity

and data transfer rate for optimal performance.

Navigating the Control Panel (PC Only)

depending on application, however higher buffer

sizes should be used when monitoring from

the DAW is not necessary. For most recording

applications, a standard buffer size of 1024

samples is enough to ensure reliable operation and

clean audio.

The streaming mode settings modify the bahaviour

of the USB driver for maximum optimization when

set in conjunction with the buffer size setting. A

larger buffer size results in higher latency to your

need to be set correctly corresponding to one

another.

For example, setting the streaming mode to

‘Reliable’ and then the buffer size to 1024 samples,

the system will then be running at 1024 samples and the audio will be clean. For lower buffer sizes, the streaming

mode should be set to ‘Low Latency’ and the buffer size to 128 samples.

A mismatch between Streaming mode and buffer size could cause artefacts in the audio and could corrupt the

audio recording. A mismatched buffer setting such as setting the streaming mode to ‘Reliable’ and the buffer size

to 64 samples would result in distorted audio in your recording.
