Apollo x8 Interface

2026-04-17T16:20:26Z

Wrrt7350:

We have Apollo x8 interfaces installed in the four Music Technology Labs, both Audio Mixing Benches, and the 5.1 Mix Room.

== Intro ==
* We have Apollo x8 interfaces installed in the four Music Technology Labs, both Audio Mixing Benches, and the 5.1 Mix Room.
* They are multichannel audio interfaces with
** Two HI-Z inputs for guitars
** Four Mic inputs with XLR jacks
** Eight Line inputs with 1/4" jacks
* The interfaces and software were configured to work in the various labs.
* The Music Tech labs make use of more inputs and outputs of the interface.
* The Audio Mix Benches are set up in a similar way to make moving between labs easier.
* Not all of the inputs and outputs are connected in the various labs.

==Inputs ==
* On the front there are two HI-Z inputs inputs (labelled '''HI-Z 1''' and '''HI-Z 2''')
** Theses are for low level signal like electric guitars. Only use mono 1/4 cables.
* There are 4 XLR mic inputs on the back of the interface.
** There is a panel with 4 XLR jacks below the interface.
** These are connected to the 4 mic inputs.
** Microphones can be connected to these inputs using XLR cables (not included in the room).
** Each input has:
*** Trim control knob for setting input levels
*** Pad for reducing input levels
*** 48V Phantom Power for powering condenser microphones
*** Low cut filter.
* There are eight 1/4" line level inputs on the back.
* The four microphone inputs and the eight line inputs share only 8 channels of analog-to-digital conversion, '''so the first four channels can only be set to either mic or line, not both at the same time.'''

=== Selecting Inputs ===
* Press the Preamp knob to toggle between inputs 1-4.
* The number over the corresponding input on the LED display will light up.
* Press the INPUT button to toggle between MIC and LINE for the current input.
* Connecting a cable to HI-Z 1 or HI-Z 2 will force the input switch to HI-Z

=== Input Controls for Inputs 1-4 ===
* Input: toggles between MIC and LINE for the current input.
* Low Cut Filter: Enables a filter with a cutoff frequency of 75 Hz with a slope of 12 dB per octave.
** Affects Mic, Line and HI-Z inputs
* +48V: Press to turn on phantom power.
** When pressed the light will flash red.
** When the red light is solid phantom power is enabled.
** Only use with condenser mics.
* Pad: When enabled, the channel’s XLR Mic input signal level is attenuated by 20 dB.
** Does not effect the Line or Hi-Z inputs.
* Polarity: Inverts the phase of the input by 180 degrees.
** Leave off
* Link: Links the preamp controls of adjacent preamp channels together.
** 1 and 2 and 3 and 4
** Only the same types of inputs can be linked.
*** Mic/Mic or Line/Line
*** Does not work HI-Z inputs

== Outputs ==
* There are 8 line outputs on the back.
* Not every lab is using all 8 outputs.

== Labeling ==
* The various audio applications may refer to the inputs and outputs with slightly different names.
* We have tried to set the preferences to meaningful names but sometimes they may revert back to the default names.
* Below are table with the list of the inputs and outputs
* Some are physical inputs and outputs and others and virtual connections from the UA Console app.

Wrrt7350: /* 118 Surround Sound 5.1 Setup */

== '''118 Surround Sound 5.1 Setup''' ==
*Check Pro Tools' bundles for correct 5.1 channel placement:
**Speakers - L R C LFE LS RS should be assigned to Apollo Outs - 17 18 19 20 21 22

*Assign outputs of tracks and master to 5.1 output

*'''PATCH:'''
**NEVE GROUP OUTPUTS (1-6) (located at patch points) N17-22) to 118 SPL VOL. CTRL. INPUTS (L,R,C,LFE,LS,RS) (located at patch points V19-24)
**SPL VOL. CNTRL OUTPUTS (L, R) (located at patch points U25,26) must be patched to118 C/R SPEAKER INPUTS (L,R) (located at patch points V 25, 26)

*On the Neve, assign channels 17-22 to groups 1-6 in corresponding order. (ie Channel 17 to Group 1, Channel 18 to Gropu 2, etc)
**These will be your 6 surround output channels.
*Make sure ‘tape’ button is pressed in on these channels

*Make sure all buttons that turn each 5.1 speaker on or off on the SPL Surround Monitor Controller are turned on.
*Also make sure all other buttons are not pushed in.
**This controller will be your main Volume Control!!

*Bring up your levels in your project, the faders on Channels 17 through 22, and faders on Groiups 1 through 6.

Audio Studio Policies

2026-02-06T02:15:35Z

Wrrt7350:

== Audio Support Contact ==
EMAIL: AudioSupport@evergreen.edu

PHONE: (360)867-5838 --> (from a campus phone, you will only dial "5838")

''Audio Support is on campus Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm, but may not be immediately reachable during that time; Audio Support is comprised of a subset of Media Services staff members and interns, whose responsibilities often take them away from the phone. Leave us a message and we will get to you as quickly as possible.''

== Audio Studio Info ==
The Audio Studios on campus are to be used for academic (credit-generating) work only, and they all require users to pass a proficiency test before they are able to reserve the room independently. Proficiencies for the four (4) Audio Studios are ''only'' offered through programs that specifically teach students how to operate these facilities; that means ILC students wishing to use these studios will need to have already passed a proficiency test prior to requesting use of the studios for their ILC.

The four (4) Audio Studios are:

* '''Audio Lab''' (Lib 1630)
* '''Performance & Production Control Room''' (Com 111a)
* '''Recital Hall Control Room''' (Com 212a)
* '''Advanced Multitrack Studio''' (Com 118)

==Basic Use Policies==

* Only use the studios during your scheduled times.
* Log in and out of the logbook at the beginning and end of your sessions.
** The logbook is for non-emergency communication between lab users, staff, and faculty.
** Contact [mailto:audiosupport@evergreen.edu Audio Support] or [[Report a Problem in a Media Lab|Report a Problem]] if you encounter disruptive/serious issues.
* Return keys and equipment promptly to Media Loan or to the Library Circulation Desk.
* Do not leave doors propped open if the room will be temporarily unoccupied, even if you are only running to the restroom.
* No open food or drinks in the spaces, and this means '''no liquids or food anywhere near the consoles/computers/electronics'''; they stay in your bag, in the hallway, or at a designated food/drink location.
** If you need to throw away perishable food or drinks (things bugs would eat or that can rot, or liquids in general), we encourage users to please refrain from doing so in the tiny waste bins inside the studios; there are always larger, publicly accessible waste bins nearby that get emptied much more regularly. Ants, rats, and stenches are unwelcome.
* '''Alcohol, drugs, vaping and smoking are not allowed anywhere in the building'''.
* Please normalize/shut down/clean-up all equipment after your session as per the proficiency test guidelines.
** This always includes: Turning off the computer, powering-down the rack equipment, turning off TV monitors and lights, removing patches from the patchbay, normalizing the mixing console, neatly coiling cables (over/under) and breaking-down mic stands and replacing them to the proper area....and log out of the logbook, please!
* Do not let other people into the studios unless they are the musicians or engineers that you are working with. You are responsible for the actions of others that you allow into the studio spaces.
** If a student has a session after you but "does not have a key," you should ''not'' allow them into the facility. Their actions will continue to be your responsibility whether you leave or stay, and you may be penalized for granting them access.
* No recording sessions by yourself. It is ok to be by yourself if you are just mixing, practicing instruments, or even setting up mics. You just should not be the only person in the studio trying to set gain on microphones.
* You cannot be the only student present if you are bringing outside artists into the studio.
* '''Do not remove/repatch or modify equipment in the racks.''' Do not move or change connections to installed equipment, including inputs/outputs of the computer. Each studio has a USB hub for you to connect personal devices to.
** If you feel the need to move/repatch equipment because of a technical issue, please refrain from doing so and, instead, contact Audio Support ''(contact info at the top of the page)''.
* If you notice something missing from the space, and the removal is not noted in the logbook, contact Audio Support ''(contact info at the top of the page)''.
* Close doors behind you when you leave, and make sure they are actually secured and locked.

===Policy Violations===
Any violations of studio policies will result in the temporary loss of studio access until you meet with Electronic Media staff and your faculty. '''Serious violations could result in permanent loss of your access to the Audio Studios;''' egregious violations such as drug, alcohol and tobacco use in the studios or control rooms and/or damage or theft of equipment will result in immediate and permanent loss of studio access and possibly permanent loss of access to Media Loan services.

===Evaluation Week===
Studios are not available for production use during evaluation week. Media Loan only checks out keys for evaluation purposes.

===Summer Use===
During the Summer, access is limited unless there is a specific class using the studios. Scheduling and reservation procedures may be slightly different than during the academic year.

Wrrt7350:

'''START UP PROCEDURES''' 

Log into the logbook 

Power on the power bar beneath the Apollo X16. 

Use the LG Display Remote to turn on Display monitors 

Turn ON and login to the computer 

Open Pro Tools and make a new session using the "API Stereo" template 
 

'''USING THE 02R''' 

Explain the normalizations between the Yamaha 02R to and from the Apollo X16, and identify them on the patch bay 

Demonstrate how to toggle between fader layers on the 02R 

Identify where the main output of Pro Tools comes out of the Apollo X16 by default, and identify which channels those outputs are normalized to on the 02R 

Plug a mic into a one of the receptacles in the control room 

Patch the output of the mic receptacle into input 1 of the O2R 

Set preamp level. Explain +48v and the Pad 

Record arm track 1 of the Pro Tools template. Since the direct output of channel 1 of the O2R is normalized to input 1 of the Apollo, sound from the microphone should be showing on the channel's meter in Pro Tools. Mute the channel, since it will be monitored direct from the O2R 

Bring up the fader to set the level to the main output fader. Bring up the Control Room volume knob to adjust the level coming out of the studio monitors 

Record some audio 

Play back the audio through the Pro Tools return channels on the O2R 

Send a headphone cue to the headphones in the control room 

Record an overdub while listening to the first audio that was recorded 
 

'''USING THE TOFT ATB''' 
 
''Unlike the Yamaha O2R, the Toft is '''not''' normalized to inputs or outputs of the Apollo X16 or the headphone cues. The only normals are to (currently unused) XLR umbilicals for an 8 channel tape machine, as well as a connection between the Toft's Monitor output and the Tannoy nearfield monitors'' 
 
Explain the relationship between the Apollo X16 and the Toft. Identify where their inputs and outputs appear on the patch bay 

Patch in a stereo audio source, such as CD or iPod output, into Line Inputs 1 and 2 of the Toft 

Identify block diagrams for the Toft input module controls and describe function/uses 

Explain the difference between the pan and submaster paths- trace on block 

Explain pre/post sends for Aux and Cue Mix 

Send your stereo audio source to the Main Output of the Toft 

Explain the Monitor Control section of the Toft and listen to your stereo source on the Tannoy monitors 

Send your stereo audio source to submasters 1 and 2 

Patch submaster outputs 1 and 2 into Apollo line inputs 1 and 2 

Open the ProTools Audio Lab template and record the CD (or iPod) to tracks 1 and 2 via the submaster 

Patch a microphone in the studio into a microphone preamp on an unused channel of the Toft. Assign this channel to Stereo so you can hear it through the Toft’s monitor controller 

Outputs 15 and 16 of the Apollo are designated as the Cue outputs from ProTools or Ableton. Patch these outputs into additional line inputs of the Toft. This allows us to monitor the output of the DAW though the Toft, and send it as part of a cue mix to the talent 

Patch the direct output of the channel your microphone is on into Apollo line input 3 

Supply talent with a cue mix of the CD tracks from tape, as well as their live mic signal, by using the cue/aux sends and the patch bay 

Record mic source into ProTools as an overdub to the stereo source that was already recorded 

Playback mix 

Render 
 

'''SHUT DOWN PROCEDURES''' 
 
Normalize the Toft 

Clear patch bay 

Power OFF the power switch and the Display monitors

Exploding a Polywav File in REAPER

2025-11-05T20:01:04Z

Wrrt7350:

When recording directly to SD card on the Mixcast, all tracks are recorded to a single file called a Polywav. A Polywav file is a multichannel .wav file. The Polywav that the Mixcast records contains 14 channels. In order to edit and mix the tracks on these channels, it can be useful to break the Polywav file into its individual tracks.

In REAPER:
* Drag the Polywav file into REAPER's Timeline. REAPER will create a new track for it.
* Right click on the Polywav Media Item.
* Hover over "Item Processing," and choose "Explode multichannel audio or MIDI items to new one-channel items."
* All channels will now appear as individual tracks within a "Parent Track" (folder).
* It can be useful to delete individual tracks that are empty or otherwise not needed.
* It can be useful to drag individual tracks out from under the Parent Track.

Tascam Mixcast 4

2025-11-05T19:32:24Z

Wrrt7350:

== Inputs ==
As a USB audio interface, the Mixcast has 14 inputs to the computer. When using the Mixcast to record into a Digital Audio Workstation software such as Ableton Live, Audition, Pro Tools, or REAPER, inputs 1-14 to the computer correspond to the following sources from the Mixcast:
# Mixcast Main Mix Left
# Mixcast Main Mix Right
# Microphone 1
# Microphone 2
# Microphone 3
# Microphone 4
# USB (main output from computer) Left
# USB (main output from computer) Right
# Aux in (1/8" stereo mini cable) Left
# Aux in (1/8" stereo mini cable) Right
# Bluetooth in Left
# Bluetooth in Right
# Mixcast Sound Pads Left
# Mixcast Sound Pads Right

When recording directly to an SD card on the Mixcast, all sources are recorded to one Polywav file. The 14 channels appear in a slightly different within the Polywav file compared to when using the Mixcast as a USB audio interface. The 14 layers within the Mixcast are:
# Microphone 1
# Microphone 2
# Microphone 3
# Microphone 4
# USB (main output from computer) Left
# USB (main output from computer) Right
# Aux in (1/8" stereo mini cable) Left
# Aux in (1/8" stereo mini cable) Right
# Bluetooth in Left
# Bluetooth in Right
# Mixcast Sound Pads Left
# Mixcast Sound Pads Right
# Mixcast Main Mix Left
# Mixcast Main Mix Right

See "Exploding a Polywav File in REAPER" for the steps to extract individual tracks from this Polywav file.

In general, the inputs of the Mixcast appear in the order they appear on the faders, but when used as a USB audio interface the main output will appear on channels 1 and 2, whereas the main mix appears on channels 13 and 14 of a Polywav file that the Mixcast can record independently.

== Outputs ==
As a USB audio interface, the Mixcast can receive 2 outputs from the computer. The main output of the computer, whether that is sound playing out of a web browser, the output of a Zoom call, or the main mix output of a DAW, comes back to the Mixcast on the USB channel (a stereo channel, one fader for both left and right). This output can be listened to on headphones or the speakers at the computer desk.

Recording with REAPER in the Podcast Studio

2025-11-05T19:05:51Z

Wrrt7350: Added some details

== Overview ==
This article describes recording with 1-4 microphones to REAPER.

== Audio Interface ==
The Podcast studio has a Tascam Mixcast 4
* The Mixcast is used to set recording and headphone levels.

=== Mixer Channels ===
* 1-4: Mic inputs
* 5: USB feed from the computer
* 6: Stereo line input
* 7: Bluetooth
* 8: Sound Pads

=== Setting Mic Levels ===
The faders on the Mixcast set the levels for the recording. We also need to set the mic preamp levels.
# On the touchscreen touch the 3 horizontal lines in the top left.
# Touch the square on the left.
# Touch Mic 1
# Talk into Mic 1 and adjust the slider on the screen.
#* Have the loudest parts of the signal (the peaks) in the orange region of the meter.
# Click the triangle to the right of the Mic 1 to go to next mic.
# Repeat for all the microphones being used.

=== Setting Headphone Levels ===
* Use the fader on the Mixcast to set initial levels
* With a strong input level, the channel fader should usually be close to zero (unity).
* The is a separate headphone levels for each headphone.
** All 4 pairs will have the same mix
* Adjust the level for each participant as needed.

== Recording ==

=== Creating a New Project in REAPER ===
# Open the '''REAPER''' application.
# If there is a warning about REAPER needing to access the microphone click '''OK''' on the first warning and '''Allow''' on the second warning.
# REAPER should open with a template for the Podcast Studio
# You need to save the project befroe recording.
## '''File > Save project as...'''
## Click '''Desktop''' on the ledft sidebar.
## In '''Save As''' enter a meaningful name.
## Check the box for '''Create subdirectory for project'''.
## Click '''Save'''

=== Track and Input Set Up ===
* The default template should have 9 tracks and a Stereo Mix fader
* Track 1 is the stereo mix from the faders on the Mixcast.
** This provides a rough mix of the recording.
* Tracks 2-5: Mics 1-4
* Track 6: USB feed from the computer
** This can cause feedback if the Pro Tools MIx fader is turned up.
** This would be used for using audio from another app like a participant via Zoom or Teams or media playback from QuickTime.
* Track 7: Line input
* Track 8 Bluetooth
* Track 9: Sound Pads
* MASTER: REAPER Mix
** Leave this down while recording.
** Turn up when playing back after recording.

=== Recording ===
# Turn down the large knob on the '''Mackie Big Knob''' monitor controller.
# Arm the tracks you will be using by clicking '''Track Record Arm''' button for each track as needed.
# Always record the '''Tascam Mix''' on track 1.
# Arm any mic inputs and other inputs as needed.
#* If you are not using the USB feed from the computer do not arm this track.
#* It will help prevent accidental feedback.
# Check record levels and headphone levels.
# Click where you want the recording to start on '''REAPER's''' timeline, moving the playhead to that location.
# Click the '''Record''' button on the transport controls or press (command)+(R) to start recording
# Click the '''Stop''' button or (spacebar) when done
# In the '''Select files to save or delete''' window click '''Save All'''.
# Click the '''Track Record Arm''' button on all armed tracks to disable recording.
# Click '''Play''' or (spacebar) to play back the recording.
# Turn up the large black knob on the '''Mackie Big Knob''' monitor controller listen on the speakers.

=== Playback ===
# Set the '''REAPER''' Master fader to 0.
# On the '''Mixcast''' turn up the '''USB''' fader.
# On the '''Mixcast''' turn up the '''monitor out'''
# Click '''Play''' to playback the recording.
# Turn up the large black knob on the '''Mackie Big Knob''' monitor controller listen on the speakers.
# Make sure track 6 in the '''REAPER''' template (USB) is not record enabled. If it is input monitoring, this will cause feedback.

Audio Monitoring - Podcast Studio

2025-10-15T22:16:32Z

Wrrt7350: /* Listening to Computer Output */

Most applications are configured to use the '''Tascam Mixcast''' audio interface for all sounds going to and from the computer. The Mac Studio's sound output is not connected to anything.

== Speaker Levels ==
There is a '''Mackie Big Knob''' monitor controller next to the computer:
# Start with the output level down
#* The large silver knob is turned all the way to the left (counter-clockwise).
# Set the '''Input Selection''' button to '''A''' to select the '''Mixcast Monitor Output'''.
# Set the '''Output Selection''' button to '''A''' to select the speakers
# Slowly turn the silver knob to the right to increase the volume.

== Headphone Levels ==
There are headphones connected to the Mixcast 4 on the podcast table and at the computer desk

=== Mixcast 4 ===
* There are 4 headphones connected to the Mixcast 4.
* On the top right of the Mixcast there are individual level controls for each headphone.
* All headphones get the same mix

=== Computer Desk ===
There is a small 4 channel headphone amp connected to the '''Mackie Big Knob''' monitor controller.
# Start with the output level down
#* The large silver knob is turned all the way to the left (counter-clockwise).
# Set the '''Input Selection''' button to '''A''' to select the '''Mixcast Monitor Output'''.
# Set the '''Output Selection''' button to '''B''' to select the headphone amp
# Slowly turn the silver knob to the right to increase the volume.
# Turn up the headphone level on the headphone amp.

== Listening to Computer Output via USB Channel ==
The '''Mixcast 4''' has a stereo channel dedicated to the output of the Mac Studio. This channel's fader is labeled with a USB symbol. When this fader is up, audio playing out of the computer will come through this channel to the headphones on the Mixcast as well as to the Mackie Big Knob via the Mixcast's Monitor Output.

'''CAUTION:''' when using a DAW like Pro Tools, Ableton Live, or Reaper, the USB channel of the Mixcast is also available as an input source. It is possible to "Input Monitor" within a DAW, which can cause loud audio feedback that could possibly damage your hearing or equipment in the studio. It is best to make sure that input monitoring is not engaged on the USB track if that track is present in the DAW.
