1 In the right panel of the FireWire Audiophile control panel, click input as your Level
Controller assignment.
2 Click the mixer tab. On the mixer page, you should see the ctlr buttons on the analog
in and spdif in channels. You’re most likely just recording with the analog inputs, so
click the ctrl button on the spdif in channel to deselect those faders from the Level
Controller assignments. Then, the Level Controller will ONLY control the analog in
channels.
Now, you can keep your audio software open while recording, and avoid having to
switch back and forth between your audio software and the FireWire Audiophile control
panel to tweak your monitor levels for the inputs that you are recording.
NOTE: Whenever you click on a “new” Level Controller assignment group, all of the
possible ctrl buttons will become active. You can make changes by clicking an individual
ctrl button to deselect that channel and disassociate it from the Level Controller
assignment group. The control panel will then remember these modifications if you click to
another assignment group and then click back to the previously modified group.
