1. Make sure that the SSL Soundscape Mixer application is running. If it is not running, start it by
clicking the Start Menu shortcut. Load the Mix3.mix mixer file by clicking “Open” under the File
menu and using the dialog boxes.
2. If necessary, change the assignment of the input elements in mixer columns 1 to 8, and the
assignment of the output element in mixer column 9, using the I/O and DSP
Assign tool, as described in the “Modifying the routing” section. For instance, in
the example below, the Alpha-Link unit is a MADI SX model and the mixer
routing uses the AES/EBU inputs and outputs. Change this to the analogue (or
MADI) inputs and outputs if appropriate, depending on the Alpha-Link model
you are using and the connections you used for your sound sources and
monitoring system.

assignment if necessary in

assignment of these elements if
