To fine tune the input level gain:
1 Create an Auxiliary Input track. This can be ei-
ther mono or stereo depending on the device
you are monitoring.
2 Set the track input to the 1622 I/O input
channel you just set in the Other Options dia-
log.
3 Play the instrument at maximum volume,
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 of the
1622 I/O.)
4 Note where the instrument output signal reg-
isters on the on-screen meters in Pro Tools.
5 In the Other Options dialog, adjust the chan-
nel input trim slider to increase or decrease gain
until you are able to achieve maximum signal
level without clipping.
6 Repeat as necessary for other instruments/in-
puts.
7 Click Store, then Done.
8 Click OK when you have finished.
Setting Up Your Studio
The diagrams below provide suggestions for
connecting studio gear to your system. Figure 3
illustrates a studio setup with the 1622 I/O con-
nected to a mixing console, with effects and
other gear routed into the console as well.
Figure 4 illustrates a setup without a mixer,
where effects processors and monitoring gear
are connected directly to the 1622 I/O.
Adjusting Input Sliders in the Other Options dialog
Input trim level, output line level, and sam-
ple rate settings are stored in non-volatile
memory so that the 1622 I/O will retain
them when used in standalone mode.
