Installation guide

1622 I/O 6
2 Set the track input to the 1622 I/O input
channel you just set in the Other Options
dialog.
3 Play the instrument at maximum vol-
ume, sending a steady signal to the
1622 I/O. (You will not be able to hear the
input signal while adjusting your levels in
this dialog, but you can see the levels on
the input meters on the 1622 I/O.)
4 Note where the instrument output signal
registers on the on-screen meters in
Pro Tools.
5 Return to the Other Options dialog (Set-
ups > Hardware > Other Options) and ad-
just the appropriate channel input trim
slider to increase or decrease gain as neces-
sary. Repeat until you are able to achieve
maximum signal level without clipping.
6 Repeat as necessary for other instru-
ments/inputs.
7 Click Store, then Done.
8 Click OK when you have finished.
✽ Clicking Store in the Other Options dialog
saves input trim level, output line level, and
sample rate settings in non-volatile memory
so that the 1622 I/O will retain them when
used in stand-alone mode.
Setting Up Your Studio
The diagrams below provide suggestions
for connecting studio gear to your system.
The first illustrates a studio setup with the
1622 I/O connected to a mixing console,
with effects and other gear routed into the
console as well. The second diagram illus-
trates a setup without a mixer, where ef-
fects processors and monitoring gear are
connected directly to the 1622 I/O.
