It is also important to understand that not all iPods are created
equal and different models have different capabilities. Please refer
to the following compatibility table to check whether your iPod is
recording-compatible.
Simple Live Setup
This is similar to the recording setup. In a live setup, you most
likely will connect the MAIN MIX OUT to a PA system amplifier
and the CTRL RM OUT to a headphone amplifier for monitoring
purposes. Try connecting an external effects processor to the
iMultiMix’s send and receive. Your headphones will allow you to
audition a channel before you bring it into the mix, making sure
the levels are OK before the audience hears it.
Using Additional External Audio
Sources
The iMultiMix 8 USB gives you 8 audio inputs in all. If you want
to bring external audio sources into a recording or live mix, you
can do it in several different ways. Using the 2-TRACK IN, you
can add a tape deck, ADAT, CD player or other source to the mix.
The 2-TRACK IN also can be used to entertain the audience with
a CD as the band is setting up for a live show. The AUX
RETURNS can be used as additional audio inputs when you are
not using them for effects.
Using the Multimix USB with a
Computer
Your Alesis Multimix mixer comes with a Full Speed USB port
which you can connect to a computer. This USB connection
allows you to send CD-quality (stereo, 16-bit, 44.1 kHz) audio
between the computer and your Multimix mixer.
This feature allows you to use the Multimix USB as a highly
flexible external soundcard. Use the computer’s built in audio

* Transport control only
Out of the box, your iPod is
formatted to work with a
Mac, rather than a Windows
computer. If you want to
transfer your recordings to a
Windows computer, connect
your iPod to your Windows
computer and allow iTunes to
format it BEFORE you
record for the first time.
If you record to your iPod
before you ever connect it to
iTunes, your recordings will
be stored in Mac’s HFS
format. They will only be
readable by plugging your
iPod into a Mac, not a
Windows computer.
Note that, if you reformat
your iPod for the Windows or
Mac platform, you may lose
any recordings prior to this.
