IF-FW/DM FireWire Expansion Card

T

aking advantage of the latest

FireWire technology, the IF-FW/DM

is a new computer interface card for

the TEC award-winning DM-

24

Digital

Mixer. Using this card, studios can con-

nect their DAW directly to the DM-

24

with a single FireWire connection, add-

ing powerful mixing, automation and

processing capabilities to virtually any

computer recording system.

For recording engineers and

musicians

who

are

comfort-

tracks and plug-ins to the recording proj-

ect. As recording software continues to

add tracks and plug-ins get more com-

plex, you can use the DM-

24

to handle

the mixing, EQ, compression and other

processing tasks it excels at. The pow-

erful automation system of the DM-

24

also alleviates the processing pressure

on the DAW, and many users prefer the

DM-

24

’s automation system over even

very high-end consoles.

A second FireWire jack allows other

FireWire devices to be daisy-chained on

the same IEEE-1394 buss. There’s even a

MIDI Input and Output for control-

ling synths and other devices

from your DAW software, or

for controlling your DAW with

the DM-24’s HUI emulation.

The IF-FW/DM replaces thousands

of dollars worth of computer audio in-

terfaces with a simple, integrated solu-

tion. Your studio gets the editing and

plug-in power that DAW systems deliver

while keeping the flexibility and speed

that recording consoles provide. Profes-

sional recording facilities know that

using a mixing console with their DAW

is often a more efficient, flexible and

better-sounding solution than work-

ing with virtual mixers. By adding the

DM-

24

with an IF-FW/DM installed to

your DAW system, you allow the DAW

to do what it does best.

able working on a mixing con-

sole, using the DM-

24

to control

their recording

software is an exten-

sion of the way they work. Already

equipped with HUI emulation for DAW

control, the IF-FW/DM allows the DM-

24

to patch 24 channels into and 24

channels out of most DAW applications,

bypassing the need for expensive audio

interfaces. The DM-

24

offers 32 input

channels – 60 inputs during mixdown

– allowing DAW users to incorporate

the synthesizers, effects processors and

recorders they’ve learned to rely on in

their DAW sessions.
