P Again, this assumes that you have installed the DSP Factory hardware according to the instructions in the supplied manual, and tested that it runs properly under Windows. Also, please note that the DSP Factory windows require a screen resolution of at least 1024 x 768 to be fully viewable.
Before you can start working, you need to make a few settings:
1. Pull down the Options menu and select Audio Setup - System.
The Audio System Setup dialog appears.
3. In the Audio System Setup dialog, make sure that the “Global Disable” Monitoring option is selected.
We recommend that you monitor the recorded signals “directly” through the DS2416 instead, as described on page 32.
There are two ASIO Devices for the Yamaha DS2416, “ASIO SW+DS32” and “ASIO SW+DS16”. Which one to select depends on your computer power and whether you need 24 bit recording or not:
• If you want to record and play back 24 bit audio, you need to select the 32 bit device (“ASIO SW+DS32”).
It is possible to record in 24 bit mode with the 16 bit device selected, but the created audio files will only have 16 bit accuracy.
• If you experience performance problems with the 32 bit device (and don’t use 24 bit audio), you should select the 16 bit device (“ASIO SW+DS16”).
The data transfer between the program and the audio card requires quite a lot of computer power. This load is drastically reduced if you use the 16 bit device.
