M-Audio Omni i/o Инструкция по эксплуатации онлайн [27/30] 19296

You can still mix through the Omni, adding effects using the Channel 1-4 Effects

Send, and also using the Direct Outs. We will describe using the Direct Outs in

the section 11.2, “Using the Direct Outs 1-4.”

11.1 Organizing the Audio Tracks for Mixing

There are a number of ways to setup the audio tracks for mixing. Here are a

couple of suggestions.

Let’s say that you’ve recorded two live rhythm guitars, four background vocals, lead

vocal and lead guitar. The Delta has four software outputs, arranged in two stereo

pairs. These pairs are 1/2, and 3/4. The Delta Patchbay/Router should be set to the

software outputs for this example (WavOut on PC, SM/ASIO on the Mac).

In your music software, set your rhythm guitars and background vocals to software

outs 3/4. Pan the guitars, and set the background vocals to varied pan positions and

all of your playback levels within your music software. Add effects by increasing the

level control on Omni channels 3 and 4 effects sends.

Software outs 1/2 are now left for your lead vocal and lead guitar. This setup allows

you to treat the lead instruments separately. Most likely, you will pan the lead vocal

in the center, and possibly the lead guitar also panned center. Add the amount of

effect you desire on the lead vocal, and give the lead guitar its own amount of effects,

by increasing the level control on Omni channels 1 and 2 effects sends.

Providing that you have an Aux In available, this setup also allows you to patch

in a single effect for each of these lead instruments. Refer to the next section,

11.2, for more information on how this can be done.

11.2 Using the Direct Outs 1-4

The Direct Outs 1-4 are directly connected to the Delta H/W Outs 1-4, and are

unaffected by the Omni mixer. They can be used to send the signal of a single

recorded audio track to an additional effects units. Mostly, you’ll want to do this

during mixdown. You will also need to have Aux Ins available to return the

effects to the Omni, or a submixer for effect returns with its stereo out connected

to the Omni FX Return.

1. If you have an audio track set to output to the Delta H/W Out 1, for

example, connect Direct Out 1 to the input of your effects unit.

2. Take the output of the effects unit, and “return” it to one of the Omni Aux

Ins. Control the listening level of the effect by adjusting the input and output

controls on the effects unit itself.
