each channel. When recording via USB 2.0, the

EQ settings ARE recorded.

2. AUX A: Routes channel signal to an external

device like an effects processor. (PRE or POST

fader depending on switch position.

3. AUX B: Controls level routed to internal effects

processor or routes channel signal to an external

device like an effects processor.

When recording via USB 2.0, the AUX A and B

signals are NOT recorded on the individual

channels. They ARE recorded via the MAIN

MIX channels.

4. PAN/BALANCE: Assigns the channel signal to

any spot in the mono or stereo spectrum.

When recording via USB 2.0, the MONO

channels’ pan position is ignored when recording

the individual channel but is captured when

recording the MAIN MIX channels. The

STEREO channels’ balance is captured by both

the individual channel and the MAIN MIX

channels.

5. PFL/SOLO: Allows the channel signal to be

heard before being affected by the fader.

6. MUTE/ALT 3/4: Mutes the channel signal

heard in the MAIN OUTPUT and routes the

signal to the ALT 3/4 OUTPUT.

These settings are ignored by the USB 2.0

individual channel outputs.

7. CHANNEL FADER: Controls the MAIN

OUT (analog) and USB 2.0 (digital) signal level

of the MIC or LINE inputs.

RECORDING VIA USB 2.0

FEATURES OF MULTIMIX USB 2.0 RECORDING

The MultiMix USB2.0 allows you to record every individual channel to the computer, along with the main mix. The recorded signal

is post-Gain, post-EQ and post-fader, which means that the settings you make to these controls will affect the recorded signal.

Additionally, the balance set for the stereo channels will affect the recording. Note that, if you only plug a source into the LEFT

input of one of the stereo channels, this source will be duplicated to the right channel.

You can record at one of four different sample rates—44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, and 96kHz.

A stereo return comes back from your computer to the mixer. Listen to this stereo signal by routing it using the USB/2TK buttons

in the master section.

INSTALL THE SOFTWARE ON YOUR COMPUTER

If your computer has access to the Internet, point your browser to the Support/Downloads section of http://www.alesis.com. It’s

possible that updated drivers have been posted there since the time the software DVD included with your MultiMix was

manufactured.

Windows

Before attaching your mixer to your computer, install the drivers either from the website or the software DVD. During the

installation process, attach and re-attach your mixer as prompted by the install program.

For each of the several installations that occur, click “Continue Anyway” if Windows warns you that the drivers have not passed

Microsoft Logo Certification.

Windows Logo Certification warning.

Ignore this warning by clicking “Continue Anyway.”

Macintosh

Install the driver from the .dmg file.

Wait to turn on/attach your MultiMix USB2.0 mixer to your Mac until after the Mac has fully booted. If you do not do so, your

computer may not recognize the device.

You must select the “Alesis USB Audio Device” via your Mac’s “Audio MIDI Setup” utility in order for your computer to route the

MultiMix USB2.0’s signals into and out of your computer applications properly.

CONNECT THE MULTIMIX USB 2.0 TO THE COMPUTER

•Connect your output devices - headphones or speakers, or both - to the MultiMix USB 2.0. Turn their volume down to zero

•Turn on the MultiMix USB 2.0

•Connect the USB 2.0 cable to both the MultiMix USB 2.0 and your computer

•Turn your computer on

NOTE: If your computer "hangs" when following this procedure, turn off both the mixer and the computer. Try turning on the

computer first. Turn on the MultiMix USB 2.0 only after your computer has completely booted up.
