Chapter 3: Using Studio Monitor Express 7
Mac
On Mac, Channels 1–8 are used for internal busses from the application using the Studio Monitor Core Audio driver. Channels
9–16 are reserved for external, physical inputs (physical inputs to the audio I/O, such as an external CD player connected to the
sound card inputs).
Windows
On Windows, any of the available 16 channels can be inputs or outputs.
To create inputs or outputs on Windows:
1 Type a name into the Name field.
2 Click Create.
SME creates the input monitoring section and adds it to the list of sections on the Main tab. It is now available for monitoring.
To route stereo audio from a Mac application into SME:
1 Select Euphonix Monitor as the application’s Core Audio output driver.
2 In the SME Sources tab, do all of the following:
•Create a Stereo source.
• Name it for the application (such as Nuendo).
• On Mac (only) Set the Start Channel to 1. This creates a stereo monitoring source for SME mixer input channels 1 and 2.
3 Enable the source in the SME Main tab or from the Artist Control’s Monitor or Control Room Setup Touchscreens.
To create a source for a stereo external, physical input (such as a CD Player):
1 Select Stereo from the Format menu.
2 Set the Start Channel by doing either of the following:
• On Mac, select 9 from the Start Channel menu.
• On Windows, select 1.
3 Type “CD Player” in the Name field.
4 Click Create.
In this example, SME creates a stereo monitoring section for its input channels 9 and 10 (Mac) or 1 and 2 (Windows).
The inputs to that SME monitoring section are defined in the Patching tab (Mac) or Hardware I/P patching tab (Windows). For
more information, see “Patching” on page 8.
