Safre PRO Range - Standalone mode
Supported Units:
Liquid Safre 56 - Safre PRO 40 - Safre PRO 24 DSP - Safre PRO 24 - Safre PRO 14
Standalone mode enables the use of a Safre PRO unit when not connected to the computer.
Here are some examples of Safre standalone usage:
Standalone mixer - use in a live performance situation, or as a way to monitor studio equipment without the need to boot a computer.
Multi-channel mic preamp - use in a live performance situation, or as a way to get additional inputs and outputs to another computer
interface e.g. Pro Tools hardware.
A/D and D/A Converter - use in a live performance situation, or as a way to get additional inputs and outputs to another computer
interface e.g. Pro Tools hardware. Routing Matrix - use to route signals to and from outboard and effects units.
Setup in Safre MixControl
(With the Safre connected to your computer) open Safre MixControl:
- If you plan to connect digital devices to you Safre, ensure that the Safre’s sample rate and digital sync settings are
correct for the connecting devices
- Check that Liquid Preamps are set to the correct input, emulation and harmonics. (Liquid Safre 56 only)
- Check that any Compression, EQ, Reverb, or VRM is set up as desired. (Safre PRO 24 DSP only)
- Check the input switching is correct for all analogue inputs. If any input mixing is required, set this up in the mixer tab(s)
- Ensure that all routing (whether from a mixer tab, or a routing matrix) is correct
To save the settings to the Safre hardware select ‘Save to hardware’
All settings are now saved to your hardware to be retained for Standalone Mode operation.
- Shut down your computer
- Turn off the power to your Safre unit
- Disconnect your Safre unit
Standalone Operation
Connect the power supply and turn on the Safre unit.
The unit will work exactly as set up in Safre MixControl, even after subsequent reboots.
To change any settings (not available on the front panel of the unit) you must reconnect the Safre to the computer and load Safre
MixControl (as outlined above).
