Common Solid State Logic SSL 12 USB Audio Interface and PureDrive Octo 12-channel Studio Bundle Questions
How do I connect and configure MIDI devices with the SSL 12 for both input and output?
Connect your MIDI device to the MIDI In/Out ports on the rear panel. In your DAW, select the SSL 12 as both your MIDI input and output device in the MIDI preferences or device setup panel to enable MIDI communication.
Does the SSL 12 offer a way to save and recall custom configurations for its inputs, routing, or effects within the interface itself, or is this all managed within my DAW?
The SSL 12 primarily relies on your DAW for saving and recalling configurations such as input gain, routing, and effects settings; it does not have onboard memory for saving presets directly on the interface itself.
I'm experiencing audio dropouts when using multiple inputs on the SSL 12, particularly at higher sample rates. What steps can I take to troubleshoot this?
Increase the buffer size in your DAW's audio settings. Also, ensure your computer meets the SSL 12's system requirements, and close any unnecessary background applications to free up processing power, and confirm your USB connection is stable.
How do I best utilize the 'Legacy 4K' mode on the SSL 12's preamps to add character to my recordings, and on which types of instruments or vocals is it most effective?
Engage the 'Legacy 4K' button on the desired channel to introduce a classic SSL console sound with added high-frequency presence and subtle harmonic distortion. This mode is generally effective on vocals, guitars, and drums to add punch and clarity.
How do I correctly setup and use the PureDrive preamps included in the PureDrive Octo Studio Bundle with the SSL 12 to expand the available inputs?
Connect the PureDrive Octo to the SSL 12 via ADAT optical connection. Then, configure the SSL 12's software control panel to recognize and route the incoming ADAT channels as additional inputs for your DAW, following the user manual instructions.
