19. Configuring the Fireface
19.1 Settings Dialog
Configuring the Fireface UC is done via its own settings dialog. Start the program Fireface USB
Settings. The mixer of the Fireface (TotalMix) can be configured by starting the program Fire-
face USB Mixer.
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.
The status displays at the bottom of
the dialog box give precise
information about the current status
of the system, and the status of all
digital signals.
Input Status indicates for each input
(Word, optical, SPDIF coax.)
whether there is a valid signal
(Lock, No Lock), or if there is a valid
and synchronous signal (Sync). The
Clock Mode display shows the clock
reference (Current…).
