Cool Edit Pro: Assigning Mia’s Inputs & Outputs
Mia’s inputs and outputs are assigned to tracks in two different ways,
depending on the view

stereo waveform or multitrack

in which you are
working. In the stereo waveform view, select
Options/Settings/Devices
; in
the window that appears you can define the
Waveform Playback
and
Waveform Recor
d devices. Simply highlight the Mia inputs and outputs
you wish to use in the appropriate fields. These settings will apply for all
files that you play or record when in the stereo waveform view. These
device settings are saved as Cool Edit Pro preferences; as such, they will be
used for all subsequent sessions until you change them.
In the multitrack view, the inputs and outputs are assigned on a per-track
basis. Before making assignments, however, you’ll need to set up the
Preferred Multitrack Devices
. To do this, click on either of the small
numeral 1s at the far left of the track display; doing so will bring up the
Playback Device
window. Click on the
Device List
button; you’ll see a list
of
Preferred Multitrack Devices.
In the
Playback
fields, assign Mia
virtual output devices 1/2, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8 into the 1
st
, 2
nd
, 3
rd
, and 4
th
fields respectively. In the
Record
fields, assign Mia Analog Record
device 1/2 to the 1
st
field and assign Mia Digital Record to the 2
nd
field.
Click Okay on each window to back out to the multitrack view screen.
These device assignments are saved as Cool Edit Pro preferences, and will
be used each time you open a new session.
To set the playback and record devices for a specific track, click anywhere
in the track’s blue-gray area at the far left of the track display. This will
open the
Track Info
window. Click on the arrows in the
Playback Device
and
Record Device
fields to select the desired inputs and outputs. If you are
going to use mono files then make sure to set up two tracks for each Mia
device and adjust the
Pan
control hard left or right accordingly.
