Getting Started

Power up sequence

• • Apogee Rosetta 800 Converter - confirm the following front panel settings before continuing

    • Sample Rate - EXT

    • Sync - WC

    • Source to Digital Outs - ADAT

    • Source to Analog Out - ADAT

  • Apollo X8

  • Outboard Effects

  • Neve 8816 Summing Mixer

  • Mac Mini M1

  • Speakers - power outlet switch on wall near door

Monitoring a 3.5mm aux input

• • The Neve 8816 has a 3.5mm input labelled iMon. Connect your device, typically using a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable

  • Press the 'MON' level control at the bottom right of the unit to cycle the monitor source until it lands on iMon

Monitoring the studio computer

• • The Apogee Rosetta 800 outputs 1-8 arrive at the 8816 on channel inputs 1-8 via the patch bay normalling

  • The Apollo X8 outputs 1-8 arrive at the 8816 on channel inputs 9-16 via the patch bay normalling

  • Ensure your audio software is using Universal Audio as the playback engine and output 1-2 from the Rosetta 800.

  • The 8816 allows you to select '1-2' as your monitoring source, which bypasses the mixer. Do that.

Use the input and output meters on the audio interfaces to help with troubleshooting
