[. . . ] 12T System User Guide Unpacking and Inspection After unpacking the12T system modules, save all packing materials in case you ever need to ship the units. Thoroughly inspect the modules and packing materials for signs of damage. Report any damage to the carrier at once; report equipment malfunction to your dealer. Notice This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designated to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. [. . . ] If you want to watch and listen to your recorded mixer actions while you're recording fader movements for another mixer channel, etc. , you can activate Read and Write simultaneously. The monitor faders and controls will move automatically, following your recorded actions. You will also hear your plug-in automation events playing back with your audio. 40 40 Lexicon Studio 12T System User Guide Reference 5 Reference PC-90 Algorithms Ambience InLvl Diffusion Pre Delay Size DLevel Link Rt HC DTime ReverbLvl Unlike traditional reverb, Ambience is intended to become a part of the direct sound ­ to give it both better blend and a definite position in space. Ambience gives warmth, spaciousness and depth to a performance without coloring the direct sound at all. This algorithm generates primarily the strong reflections which appear in the first few hundred milliseconds of the reverberation process. These early reflections constitute the primary audible effect, giving you the impression of a hall surrounding you while the music is playing. To avoid any coloration from these strong reflections, the time delays and amplitudes are random functions. Ambience is very useful for adding a room sound to recorded music or speech. It is particularly easy to match a studio recording of dialog to a typical room environment. In music recording, it allows you to realistically add distance to a close-miked signal. If an ensemble has been recorded with closemikes and pan pots, Ambience can provide the missing blend and depth. The apparent position of the instruments is preserved in the reverb while the apparent distance is increased. This algorithm is also useful in matching a closely miked accent microphone to the overall ambience of a recording. 41 41 Reference Lexicon This allows a soloist to be increased in level without changing the apparent distance. Ambience can be used in a recording situation any time a close-miked sound is undesirable. When using Ambience in a mix, it is best to use a stereo send to the PC-90, carefully matching the panning of the various close-miked sources to their positions in the mix. the apparent distance of each source can be controlled by the level of its feed. Chamber L EchoFbk L Echo LRefl InputLvl Diffusion Pre Delay BassMult TrebleDcy Spin RRefl R Echo LRefLvl Mid Rt Size Spread Crossover Shape Link Rvb Out HFRolloff RRefLvl R EchoFbk Chamber provides an even, relatively dimension-less reverberation, with little change in color as the sound decays. The initial diffusion is similar to the Concert Hall algorithm, but the sense of size and space is much less obvious. This characteristic, along with low color in the decay tail, makes Chamber useful on a wide range of program material. It is especially useful on spoken voice, giving a noticeable increase in loudness with very low color. 42 42 Lexicon Studio 12T System User Guide Reference Concert Hall BassMult Pre Delay Size Spin Diffusion Mid Rt Shape Link Crossover Spread Chorus Rt Hc Def Depth InLvl ReverbLvl This algorithm emulates a real concert hall. The reverberation is very clean, and designed to remain behind the direct sound ­ adding ambience, but leaving the source unchanged. This effect has a relatively low initial echo density which builds up gradually over time. Inverse LRefLvl LRefl InputLvl Diffusion Pre Delay LowSlope Mid Slope Crossover TrebleDcy RRefl RRefLvl Duration Shape ReverbLvl HFRolloff This algorithm allows you to vary the slope of the initial portion of the reverb envelope. The slope can decay, remain level, or rise over a variable time interval. [. . . ] For audio systems, it is best to set the typical role for the machine to be a Desktop System or File Server. In either case, make sure your Read-Ahead Optimization is set for None. Set Virtual Memory To A Fixed Amount If you have sufficient memory it is possible to completely turn off Virtual Memory. If not set this to 50MB to 100MB.

Make sure you have a Plug and Play ready BIOS that complies with V2. 1 of the PCI specification. [. . . ]
