LIVE RECORDING WITH MONITOR MIXING

Choose the Live recording with monitor mixing preset when you are tracking in the studio. The

setup is pretty much the same as for the “Interface

+ mixer” preset shown in Figure 6-3 on page 54,

except that aux buses are routed to the 828es analog outs (in consecutive pairs) for independent monitor mixes. All physical inputs on the interface are routed to both the computer (for recording) and the Main Mix and Monitor buses in the mixer

(for near-zero latency monitoring). Thunderbolt or USB channels from the computer are included in the 828es mix.

AVB EXPANSION

Use the AVB Expansion preset when you want to connect the inputs and outputs on the 828es to other devices over Ethernet cabling. This preset routes all inputs and outputs on the 828es interface to 8-channel AVB network streams in the routing grid, which are then broadcast to any/all other devices on the same AVB Ethernet network.
