Routing audio

       Program of music for theater can use all audio devices, which are available on the computer. To start the project must be at least one audio device in the system. This device will be assigned a status Portal, and the program it will be marked with the following symbol:

       The presence of two audio will organize monitoring - the means by which sound can privately listen to the sounds of acoustic observing hygiene in respect of their colleagues. Device monitoring indicated sledushchej symbol: .

Other audio devices have a neutral status, and can be used as an extra for the alarm to the audio system in the auditorium, and as a means of technical alerts.

       For example, you can allocate a separate device in order to bring the message of the fungus with an invitation to artists on the scene. And although the filing of such signals is usually the responsibility of the director's helpers, the practice shows that in complex performances, especially in moments of danger, permutations, assistant director should not be distracted from what was happening behind the scenes.

       Thus the program music for theater, sound can be sent to any device that is present in the system. This is done with window Routing:

       The figure marked with blue circle button in the toolbar, clicking on which opens a window of the router (Routing). Red line in the box, three zones, which will be discussed below:

       1 The choice of sound card and view its properties.

       2.channels linking the audio file to the chosen output channels sound card

       3.Testing of individual outputs sound card and check the integrity of the sound path.

       Thus already the main zones of the window shows the main difference between the routing program music for theater from other programs. Each audio file can be played on any audio device. If the audio file is not more than two channels, these channels can be directed to any output Chosen sound card. Routing audio files with a large number of channels is not supported in the program of music for theater version 1.0.

       Mono file can be sent to any single-channel or directly to a stereo pair. Routing stereo file is possible only within the stereo output channels.

       1. Select sound card and view its properties.

       The area is designated by a blue numeral 1 in the figure above shows the drop-down list with the list of sound cards, a WDM-drivers. Select the device for the sound made the list. In the right part of the zone displays information about the chosen audio device. Here you can see all the available options - the number of output channels, support options, settings, audio streams and so on.

       2. channels linking the audio file to the chosen output channels sound card

       The area is designated by a blue number 2 is responsible for routing of audio channels within the selected sound card. All connectors are marked by black circles. In suburbia are audio outputs of your sound card, but inside - channels the audio file. Routing is done by dragging the connection with the mouse on the channel audio file to the channel sound card.

       As an additional aid in routing introduced several control elements:

Clear Routing button removes the specified connection and sound in such a state will be played through the front channels (Front left, Front Right).

Button Restore Routing establishes those connections that were previously installed.

And finally, if the block of commands is more than one file with the same number of channels that the current, then the list on the right you will see the customization options of these files. You can download them simply click on the desired line.

       3. Testing of individual outputs sound card and check the integrity of the sound path.

       Testing allows you to quickly determine the appropriate audio output through direct listening to each exit sound card. Beam test marked in the figure the blue number 3. It consists of the settings panel (top) and transparent buttons with the image of speakers: . Clicking on these buttons you can test all the audio outputs of your sound card and quickly assign the appropriate outputs.

Testing reveals incomplete support hardware mixing separate audio components. This will be discussed in detail here. If the test you will hear a sound distortion, reminiscent of the effect of distortion, then you need to switch to computerized Mixing, pressing to translate it into a state . It must be emphasized separately that after the routing is completed, and the routing window is closed, you should test the sound with the volume set on the terminals in position-20db, and in the case of the ones above distortions Translate button into a state .

       Two main test settings allow you to set continuous playback test file, which may be needed when the sound engineer to check the integrity of the sound path, moving directly to a speaker system.

       Further testing to determine instances of improper selection circuit output audio channels. This will be discussed in detail here.

       The new block of commands is configured so that it worked through the portal audio device. This routing channel is positioned so that the sound passes through the front pair of output channels (Front left, Front right).

Since computer equipment is variable, there are situations when a project requires a larger number of devices than is currently installed on your computer.
