Software Control Panel

The FireWire Solo’s driver software provides a simple yet powerful interface with your computer and Digital Audio Workstation software. The control

panel gives you a four-channel software mixer, allowing you to route any of the FireWire Solo’s four inputs (two analog and two S/PDIF) to any of

the four outputs (two analog and two S/PDIF).

The FireWire Solo control panel is installed in your system when you complete the driver installation procedure. To open the control panel:

In Windows – A tiny red logo will be placed in the system tray, generally located at the bottom of your Windows desktop. Double-click this icon to

open the control panel.

On the Mac – The FireWire Solo control panel can be found in the system preferences.

NOTE:

The FireWire Solo control panel can also be opened from an ASIO-compliant music program’s audio setup page.

Mixer Page

The Mixer page provides output routing and control of the FireWire Solo’s

analog and digital inputs, as well as the four virtual channels returning from

your Digital Audio Workstation software. It also provides input and output level

meters, level controls, stereo linking, solo and mute functions.

Mixer Settings

These four buttons allow you to save and recall mixer settings as needed.

Reset Button

This button returns the control panel settings to their default values. These

default values can be found in the section on product speciﬁcations.

Load, Save, Delete Buttons

These buttons will open a Windows or Mac ﬁle dialog box within your audio

application, with the corresponding load, save or delete function selected.

Channel Returns

The Mixer page provides you with control over the FireWire Solo’s audio routing. On this page you will ﬁnd metering and faders for four stereo

pairs:

Software Returns (1/2 SW RTN, S/PDIF SW RTN)

The Mixer

page provides access to four virtual audio “returns” from your audio application. These returns are available in two stereo pairs, and

are labeled 1/2 sw rtn and spdif sw rtn. These returns will appear in your DAW program’s output mixer settings as available audio outputs.

Most likely, you will control the output monitor levels from your audio program’s mixer, and will want to keep its faders at their maximum level.

However, you may ﬁnd it convenient to adjust them here in the mixer page, if you are, for example, setting up a balance between input levels

and sw rtn levels.
