music studio system
Like any multi-channel audio recorder, the Wave/4 is designed to
work seamlessly within your music recording system. Typically, major
components of the recording system are:
microphones and preamplifiers
n
effects processors such as limiters, noise gates, reverb units
n
multi-channel mixer
n
multi-channel audio recorder
n
power amplifier and monitor speakers

At the heart of the system is the mixer whose inputs and outputs are
connected to all the other pieces of equipment. The mixer is the
router or traffic cop and it connects signals together and controls
volume levels and equalization. Thus, the mixer is essential part of the
system and it's often built-in to mini-studio products such as multi-
track cassette recorders. In a professional environment, the mixer is
nearly always a separate piece of equipment.
The mixer and the sound card
Typical multimedia sound cards are not designed for multi-channel
recording. They usually include a low-quality, integrated mixer that
controls the volume of stereo audio streams from wave file output,
music synthesizer and CD-audio player that are produced by games and
applications.
When you get started with serious music recording on your PC, it's
important to recognize that achieving the full benefits of multiple
channels requires using an external mixer to route and mix the
channels down to two channel stereo.
