I've not written or recorded anything no, but from looking at the unit in front of me, I'll quickly write up some notes on it:
On the back, you have the 8 XLR's, above 8 Jack inputs. They map to inputs 1-8 in Pro Tools, going from my left to my right (the unit is set up behind my computer keyboard. On top, again, towards the back panel, you have the gain pots. These are pretty obvious, because they're very close to both the gain pots, and the instrument buttons, and have a sort of line that acts like a pointer, so you can tell how high the gains are. Below and slightly to the right of each gain pot is an instrument switch. The switch on the far left, is now an instrument switch, although it's used in conjunction with the first inst switch, to tell the desk to route the instrument socket on the front left of the desk to input 1. When it's in, the front input is used as input 1, when out, the back. If it's in, but the first inst switch is out, the first XLR is still used. The button on it's lonesome, top center of the unit is phantom power, and it has a lone LED light beneath it, which I assume lights up when the button is pressed in. Below the gain pots, on kind of a shelf type offair, is the channel strip display. On the right, is a smaller screen. I'm not sure what else this display shows, but it definitely shows what mode the desk is in, but more on that later. Below these, are a row of knobs. The 8 on the left, are the pan pots by default, although when the flip button is pressed (can't remember where that is), they go to being the channel volume. The two on the right, are the 2 headphone outputs. I can't actually remember if I ever got both headphone sockets working, but I don't use either of them now. Reguardless, the left knob controls the left headphone socket, and the right knob, the right socket. The final knob, on it's own, about half way up the right hand side, is the volume of the over all unit. You can use this in place of function f12 (or your mac's volume controls), assuming you're not routing your audio through the desk. Below the knobs on the right, are a whole bunch of buttons, I'll try and remember what they are now: The only ones which are important, are the 5 below the headphone levels. These are aux 1 to 5. I have no clue what they do in each mode, but they set the mode, so you will care about them at least once in your life. While powering up the uni9, hold down 1 of these buttons to get to the desired mode. For example, for Pro Tools, or, more accurately the HUI mode, you'd hold down aux 3, which is in the center, then turn on the power, and keep the button pressed for maybe 3 seconds. If you want to check when it's on, before you turn the unit on, move the master fader to the top or something, then it'll move down to the bottom once it's loaded. The available modes, as far as I can remember, again, don't quote me, are: 1. Logic mode. 2. Cubase? 3. HUI (Pro Tools) 4. Live ? 5. General MIDI Below these, are some buttons, which I can't remember. One is definitely plugin, and one is definitely pan, other than that, I can't remember I'm afraid. Below the pan pots, are the channel strip buttons, so I'll not run through every strip, as they're all the same. From top to bottom, you have: *Select | Rec (I can't remember which way round they go, but it's one or the other). * Solo * Mute * Motorised fader. The fader on it's own a little apart from the others on the right, as you'd imagine, is the master fader. This doesn't do anything when the desk is in PT mode however, but it's a great way to check if the desk is on when in this mode, as it'll rather angrily force it's way back to -inf DB when you adjust it. Above the master fader, are 4 banking buttons. The top two are bank by 8, and the bottom two are bank by 1. Not sure if I've got them flipped or not, but something like that. To the right of the faders, there's a transport bar, which I've never used, other than to verify that it wouldn't do anything with Pro Tools, but they are (from left to right): Rewind Fast Forward Stop Play Record (in cased with like bar things around it). Below this, on the right hand side, there is a shuttle wheel, no clue if that works or not, and 5 buttons, arrayed in the 4 standard cardinal directions, with something which I think is Zoom in the middle. These (I think), are left right, and up and down, but I won't swear to that. Bottom front of the unit are the main inst socket front left, and the headphones 1 and 2 on the right. Hope all that made sense, and, above all, helped! Check the manual for less useless information! :-) Have fun, the Project Mix is a great unit, me and mine have had a lot of fun and productive times together.
