User Guide 30 P roFire 2626 A/ D Mode: In this mode, ProFire 2626 acts only as an analog-to-digit al (A/ D) and S/ P D I F format converter . The interface does not perform any digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion, but instead allows the analog inputs to be routed to both the analog and optical output ports simultaneously.
User Guide 31 P roFire 2626 About The About tab provides version information for the Control Panel, driver , and any connected ProFire 2626 interfaces. This page also features convenient links to driver updates, downloadable manuals, F AQs, tec h support, product registration, and the M-Audio home page.
User Guide 32 P roFire 2626 Digital Clocking Y our computer-based DA W stores and manipulates music as digit al s amples. Those samples are sent to and from your DA W as “snapshots” of data.
User Guide 33 P roFire 2626 Scenario 1: ProFire 2 626 as Clock Master By selecting “internal” as the sync source in the Control Panel, you designate ProFire 2626 as the clock master .
User Guide 34 P roFire 2626 Scenario 2: ProFire 2 626 Slav ed to an Optical Input If you prefer to use another device as clock master , you will need to configure that device to act as master and select that device’s input on ProFire 2626 as the sync source.
User Guide 35 P roFire 2626 Scenario 3: ProFire 2 626 Slav ed to S/ PD I F Input Y ou may need to use a two-track device as clock master . This is because many two-trac k digital devices, such as consumer CD players, are not designed to be locked to other devices due to their lack of digital inputs.
User Guide 36 P roFire 2626 MID I ProFire 2626 provides 16 channels of MI DI I /O over st andard 5-pin DI N connectors found on the breakout cable. These I/O ports can be used to connect M I D I-compatible devices to your computer such as controller keyboards, drum machines, or sound modules.
User Guide 37 P roFire 2626 Connection Diagram and Example Scenarios ProFire 2626 is a flexible interface with a variety of inputs and outputs. This flexibility allows ProFire 2626 to be used in a many different applications ranging from studio multi-tracking and on-location recording to multi-c hannel surround mixing.
User Guide 38 P roFire 2626 • Ifyouarerecordingthedirectoutputofanyelectricguit arsorbasses,connecttheseinstrumentstoAnalogInputs1 and 2 (1) on the front panel. Be sure the Mic/ Inst Button (2) is in the “in” position for each c hannel that is using the front panel inputs.
User Guide 39 P roFire 2626 Example Scenario #1: Recording a Duo This example demonstrates how ProFire 2626 can be used to record a duo consisting of a guitarist/vocalist and a percussion player . In this scenario, the guit arist/vocalist is playing an electric guit ar while singing into a microphone.
User Guide 40 P roFire 2626 • Input Connections: The electric guitar is recorded “direct” by connecting it to the first channel’s front-panel Instrument Input (1) with a standard 1/4” TS instrument cable. W hen using a front panel input, make sure that the Mic/ Inst button (2) for that channel is in the “in” position.
User Guide 41 P roFire 2626 Configuring the Mixer , Router , and Settings tabs Setting up the DS P Mixer: The default input c hannel configuration of the D S P Mixer should work well for most recording scenarios (including this one).
User Guide 42 P roFire 2626 Configure the Master V olume Knob to Control Y our Studio Monitors: Since the studio monitors are connected to analog outputs 5/6, make sure that the “ Analog Out 5/6” box is chec ked under the “Master V olume Knob” section of the Settings tab.
User Guide 43 P roFire 2626 Example Scenario #2: Mixing in Surround This example demonstrates how ProFire 2626 can be used to create a six-channel surround mix. In this scenario, your audio application must have provisions for multi-channel surround mixing (suc h as surround panners and a 6-channel master output).
User Guide 44 P roFire 2626 Input Connections: Since we are simply mixing for this scenario and are not recording anything, we do not have to use any inputs. Since the optical and coaxial (S/ P D I F) inputs are not being used in this scenario, these inputs should be disabled from the Router t ab of the Control Panel.
User Guide 45 P roFire 2626 Routing your DA W application outputs: In this scenario, your audio application will output a mix consisting of six channels. The ProFire 2626 Router must be correctly configured so that these channels leave the interface through the correct analog outputs.
User Guide 46 P roFire 2626 T roubleshooting Problem: No sound. Possible Cause 1 : Power supply not connected. V erify that the ProFire 2626 power supply is properly attached to the interface and plugged into a working AC outlet. Next, make sure the interface is powered on using the Power Button (9).
User Guide 47 ProFire 2626 Problem: No visual activity on Signal/Clip LE D indicators. Possible Cause 1 : Poor quality cabling. V erify that your audio cables are plugged in properly and are in good working order . Possible Cause 2 : The output volume of your audio source is set too low .
User Guide 48 P roFire 2626 Problem: Windows user s experience high latency and limited performance when using Steinberg Nuendo or Cubase SX. Possible Cause: Cubase S X and Nuendo may be using the default “ ASI O Multimedia Driver .
