- Important Notes -

The active automation is on the Mic/Line bank only. All other Banks are muted and their faders are set to OFF. The Main L/R fader is also set to OFF, as are the Main Auxiliary sends. This makes it so you don't have to worry about blowing anything up in case you're feeding your d8b a signal of some sort. It may be a good idea to turn down, or off, your monitoring systems.

- Directions for Use -

  • After loading the file onto your d8b's hard drive, open the session.
  • Turn off bypass in the Locator. (You may want to close the Locator
    window after doing this so it's out of the way.)
  • Select the Mic/Line Bank
  • Feed MTC to the d8b starting at ZERO
  • Your d8b will start to communicate with you within 1.5 seconds
    (watch the monitor)
  • Faders will start to frolic at 9 second

- Default Session Settings -

  • Created in the Mix Editor and the Event Track
  • No MFX or UFX

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK (but it should be harmless)

Have fun!
