MCS MusicRack ReadMe File
===============================================================================
LINECONFIG:
Additional information for users who have attached the output of their
CD-ROM drive to the Auxiliary port of their sound card.
If your sound board has a CD audio line-in port, yet you have
found it necessary to attach the audio output of the CD-ROM drive to
the auxiliary line-in port, you will find it impossible to control
the CD Volume in the Enhanced CD player. This section will detail
how to make MCS MusicRack best utilize your sound board's auxliliary
line-in to control the volume of your CD player.
The "Volume" section of the MCS MusicRack User's Manual describes a
procedure which assigns the auxiliary port of the sound card to MCS
MusicRack's logical CD volume control. After this operation the CD
Player's volume controls will adjust the volume of the sound card's
auxiliary port. Because the Mixing Console component relies, not
on MCS MusicRack's logical associations, but instead on the patch
names as reported by the sound card's mixer driver, you must still
adjust the "Aux" sliders to change the CD's volume when using the
Mixing Console component. Alternatively, you may also change the
default patch names that the mixer driver will use to correspond
to the changes made in the MCSINIT.INI file. We think that this
is a very reasonable solution that most users would prefer.
The following instructions are meant for those who have the problem
described above.
Step 1. Install MCS MusicRack if has not been previously installed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 2. Switch MCS MusicRack's logical auxiliary and CD associations
---------------------------------------------------------------------
a) Use Windows' notepad (or any other editor which will write
straight ASCII files) and load "MCSINIT.INI" from the directory
containing Windows.
b) Locate the [LINECONFIG] section and examine the entries
labled "CD_AUDIO" and "AUXILIARY", then swap the line
numbers associated with both devices.
Example: If your sound board is a Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum,
then you would make AUXILIARY=LINEIN03 and CD_AUDIO=LINEIN02 as
demonstrated below.
[LINECONFIG]
PRODUCT=Media Vision Pro Audio/CDPC
MASTER=LINEOUT00
RECORDIN=LINEOUT01
CD_AUDIO=LINEIN03 <---------- CD_AUDIO=LINEIN02
DIGITAL_RECORDER=LINEIN05 |
MIDI=LINEIN00 |
AUXILIARY=LINEIN02 <---------- AUXILIARY=LINEIN03
MICROPHONE=LINEIN04
Step 3. Changing the default mixer driver patch names.
-------------------------------------------------------
a) Search for the [drivers] section in the file "SYSTEM.INI" located
in the directory where Windows has been installed. Locate the
"mixer" entry in the [drivers] section and note the filename
that has been assigned to the "mixer" entry.
b) Use an editor capable of writing straight ASCII to edit "WIN.INI"
located in the directory where Windows was installed. Find the
section name corresponding to the filename found in step 3a.
c) After finding the appropriate section name, search the section's
"LineIn" entries for the patch names of "AUX" and "CD".
(The patch names appear in the first field immediately after
the '=' on each line.) Next, swap the numbers associated with
these patches.
Example: If your sound board is a Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum,
then you would replace the '3' in the line that contains
"LineIn3=AUX" to '4' and you would replace the '4' in the line
that contains "LineIn4=CD" to '3' as show below.
------------------ Change this '3' to '4'
