16. Configuring the Fireface

16.1 Settings Dialog

Configuring the Fireface UC is done via its own settings dialog, the program Fireface USB Set-

tings. The mixer (TotalMix FX) can be configured by starting the program Totalmix.

The Fireface’s hardware offers a number of helpful, well thought-of practical functions and op-

tions which affect how the card operates - it can be configured to suit many different require-

ments. The following is available in the 'Settings' dialog:

• Level of analog I/Os

• Configuration of digital I/Os

• Synchronization behaviour

• Current sample rate

• State of input and output

Any changes performed in the

Settings dialog are applied

immediately - confirmation (e.g.

by exiting the dialog) is not

required.

However, settings should not be

changed during playback or

record if it can be avoided, as this

can cause unwanted noises.

Use the drop down menu

Properties For to select the unit

to be configured.

On the right of it the current

firmware and driver version is

shown.
