Introduction
The Yamaha DSP Factory is an audio hardware system for professional
digital multitrack recording and mixing on personal computers. The
core of this system is the DS2416 Digital Mixing Card, a PCI-bus audio
card with professional specifications, extensive mixing capabilities and
on-board EQ, dynamics and effects. It is possible to install and digitally
connect two DS2416 cards in one computer. Each card can also be
used with one or two optional AX44 Audio Expansion Units, for up to
eight additional analog inputs and outputs per card.
This manual assumes that you have at least one DS2416 installed,
tested and running under Windows 2000 or XP.

For information about how to install, test and troubleshoot the DS2416,
please refer to the documentation supplied with the card. There you will
also find detailed information about audio hardware specifications and
features.
The DSP Factory in Nuendo
By using the DSP Factory in conjunction with Nuendo, you get a com-
plete graphical interface with full control over the card’s features. The
DS2416 audio card will behave like an external digital mixer, feeding
digital signals into Nuendo’s inputs and accepting digital signals from
Nuendo’s output buses.
The Nuendo/DSP Factory combination allows you to:
•
Record and play back using multiple inputs and outputs.
By itself, the DS2416 provides four inputs and outputs (two analog and two digital).
Each AX44 unit adds four analog inputs and outputs, and there is also support for
upcoming I/O units.
•
Use the DS2416 EQ, dynamics and effects for separate Nuendo audio
channels or for combinations of channels.
•
Route DSP Factory outputs to external effects, accessible from the
VST effect sends.
•
Synchronize audio playback to external wordclock.
