Project Setup

Configuring a DHD system is a complex process. There are always different ways to do it. The sequence of the individual steps is often not static. Despite this, the following list is to be understood as a proposal, how to configure for example a brand new 52/MX. This list is neither complete nor very detailed, but it gives a basic overview of the configuration process:

1. Set up the general options for the project. (see Device Properties)
2. Insert a device: Right-click on the project tree and click Add 52/XC or Add 52/XD. (see Project)
3. Select the hardware I/O modules for your setup and assign the correct APC ports. (see I/O Overview)
4. Create your console layout: Select the fader and control modules for your configuration and assign the correct APC ports. (see Console)
5. Set up the audio system with PGM busses, AUX busses, internal busses, fader channels etc. (see Mixing Functions)
6. Set up the logic system to include key functions, GPIOs etc. (see General Information on Logic)
7. Connect the audio signals and logic functions with output functions. (see Output Functions)
8. Route the audio signals from the internal bus to the outputs of the hardware modules. (see I/O Overview)
