- iPad: M AIR App from the Apple App Store.
- Android: M AIR App no Google Play veikala.
- PC/Mac/Linux: M AIR EDIT Software from the MIDAS webvietne.
Once installed, launch the application and connect to your MR18 via the configured network connection.
6. Operating the MR18
The MR18 is controlled entirely through its dedicated software application. This section provides a general overview of key operational aspects.
6.1 Pamatdarbība
- Channel Strips: Each input channel in the software provides controls for gain, phantom power, EQ, dynamics (gate/compressor), and routing.
- Sajaukšana: Adjust faders for individual channels and master outputs. Create auxiliary mixes for monitors or effects sends.
- Efekti: The MR18 includes a virtual effects rack with various reverbs, delays, and modulation effects.
6.2. Ievades/Izvades konfigurācija
The software allows flexible routing of inputs to channels and outputs. You can assign physical inputs to any processing channel and route any mix bus or channel to the physical outputs.
6.3 Recording via USB
The MR18 features an 18x18 channel bidirectional USB2.0 audio interface. This allows you to record all 18 input channels directly to a connected computer (DAW software required) or play back 18 channels from your computer through the mixer.
6.1. video: An instructional video demonstrating the recording capabilities and USB audio interface features of the MIDAS MR18. This video provides a visual guide to setting up and utilizing the multi-channel USB audio for studio or live recording.
