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: - Set up the general options for the project. (see [[tb8:options|Device Properties]]) - Insert a device: Right-click on the project tree and click ''Add 52/XC'' or ''Add 52/XD''. (see [[tb8:project_information#project|Project]]) - Select the hardware I/O modules for your setup and assign the correct APC ports. (see [[tb8:io_overview|I/O Overview]]) - Create your console layout: Select the fader and control modules for your configuration and assign the correct APC ports. (see [[tb8:console|Console]]) - Set up the audio system with PGM busses, AUX busses, internal busses, fader channels etc. (see [[tb8:mixing_functions|Mixing Functions]]) - Set up the logic system to include key functions, GPIOs etc. (see [[tb8:logic|General Information on Logic]]) - Connect the audio signals and logic functions with output functions. (see [[tb8:output_functions|Output Functions]]) - Route the audio signals from the internal bus to the outputs of the hardware modules. (see [[tb8:io_overview|I/O Overview]])
