This example demonstrates how to use the Digital X Bus with a digital
audio workstation (DAW). Three MIC/LINE 4 cards provide up to 24
microphone and instrument inputs (12 Mic/Line inputs and 12 Line inputs).
Three AES cards provide 24 output tracks to the DAW’s audio interface via
25-pin AES/EBU connections. The SMPTE IN/OUTs on the SYNC card provide
time code for the DAW. Two MIDI interfaces are used to achieve full 24-
channels of MIDI communication between the Digital X Bus and the DAW via
the USB. A LINE card provides line-level sends and returns for external effects,
or better yet, use the Internal Effects Rack in the Digital X Bus loaded with
VST effects and eliminate the need for expensive external signal processors.
The MIX OUT card provides a stereo line-level control room output and two
stereo headphone outputs for monitoring the input sources.
