micro-OSC does not yet run on the Arduino. Some unfortunate design choices on the Arduino make it challenging to achieve good performance of uOSC as we have for the PIC.

Richard handles all the purchasing. Except for things that Edmund wants, which can go through Jim Coates in the Music Dept.

• Use the hard wire net connection when doing Skype or i-Chat style interviews or lectures in the main room, not Air Bears.

Instruct the guest in the following matters:

• Make sure that the guest has a Skype or i-Chat address and that you have contacted him/her via this method.

Normally, the mixer is the master clock for the whole studio. To set the clock source:

For normal operation, Protools--

Use the Case Tracker, select Rear Studio and add a new case, assigning it to Jay Cloidt.

We use the op_video module of drupal to manage our web video delivery and transcoding.

The preferred format is H.264 with 640x480 videos and AAC 44.1kHz stereo encoded audio.

The module will transcode into this format automatically if you provide a different format but this transcoding

CNMAT's Main Room ADAT Lightpipe Patch Bay

It is possible to send and receive digital audio via Alesis' 8-channel ADAT LightPipe optical format in CNMAT's main room from various sources, for instance:

Rane outputs 1-8 are normalled to the 8 loudspeakers.

The default is that the outputs of the mixer go via the Ranes to the corresponding loudspeakers. It's easy (though not necessarily recommended) to bypass the Ranes in order to patch directly to the Meyer speaker inputs), or to remap the channel numbers by patching here.

#Standard connections
The [cnmat:node/2726|Rear Studio] is prewired to record eight microphone channels from the Main Room. See [cnmat:node/3828|Recording from the Main Room] in the Rear Studio manual for complete information on recording with the Tascam digital mixer, use of the talkback system, etc.

For a video tutorial on how to use Peak for stereo recording, click [http://cnmat.berkeley.edu/system/files/attachments/Recording+from+the+Ma...|here].

##Audio output

Peak is very flexible, and can output to many destinations. This is the basic setup:

- In the Audio Menu, Sound Out -> select "Core Audio..."

The DM-3200 Digital Mixer has 16 channels of analog input. Each channel has a mic input and a line input, which are chosen on a per-channel basis via physical switches above the Trim knobs at the top of the mixer. Phantom power is also available (for condenser microphones) in banks of four channels. These switches should remain off unless you're using condenser mics.

Connect a laptop or mic in the studio.
