The “Function” menu provides access to controls for recording and playback, as well as settings and even
firmware updates.
To navigate on this page, either use the Function button to increment, OR the rotary encoder to move to the
desired menu item. To select that item or page, either press the Select button, OR press in the rotary encoder.
If more menu options are available than the 12 that will fit on one screen, a small down arrow icon will be
displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen to show that more options are available. Simply use the
rotary encoder to move the desired menu item beyond the last item on the screen and the additional items will
scroll into view.
To exit this page, either press the Meter/Exit button to return to the meters, or Phones Source button if you
wish to go to that page.
6.2.1 Clock Setup
The “Clock Setup” page is where the Aurora
(n)
can be set up as a clock master, or slave to some other device
in your system. The default state is with the Aurora
(n)
on “Internal”, unless using a Dante system, in which
case the default SYNC SOURCE is “Dante”. In most cases, having the Aurora
(n)
on “Internal” is the desirable
state, so that it can follow the sample rate of audio projects automatically, and also the system can take
advantage of Aurora’s Mastering Quality clock generation. When set to “Internal”, generally the Sample Rate
will be determined by the computer, either within an audio recording program, or as a global setting in the
operating system. When audio is streaming to the Aurora
(n)
from the computer, the sync source and sample
rate cannot be changed from the Clock Setup page, so the Clock Setup indicator will go dim. When streaming
has stopped, then you can change sample rate to any of the supported rates between 44.1k, and 192k. This is
especially pertinent with recording to the SD card.
