Tracker MT16 — User Guide TRACKER CONNECTIONS Powering Your Tracker MT16 Plug your Tracker MT16 into the wall using the provided 5V DC Adapter. When your Tracker MT16 is powered on, the PWR light will turn blue and the LCD will display, “Initializing, please wait…” Your Tracker MT16 is a fully functioning UNIX computer, so it will take a moment to boot up. Once the device is ready to go, you will see the RECORD menu. Connecting Your Tracker MT16 to a Mixer Your Tracker MT16 is designed to connect to a variety of devices, and can be hooked up in 1 of 3 ways: using the on-board inputs, using the available breakout cable, and using the JamHub Connect cable. Connect your Tracker MT16 directly to any mixer using the direct out, patch, or Insert Jack. The Insert Jack is a specially designed jack for the send and return of effects loops: rarely used but highly prized space on a mixer. © 2014 JamHub Corp. All rights reserved. Product features, specifications, system requirements, and availability are subject to change without notice. Patents pending. ON-BOARD INPUTS Your Tracker MT16 has 6 mono and 2 stereo built in jacks. Use these to record directly from any audio source. The mono inputs will record to Channels 1-6, and the stereo inputs will record to Channels 7-10. Using Mono Cables with the Insert Jack The easiest way to record live audio from a mixer will be through the Insert Jacks. If you are using mono cables to plug your Tracker MT16 into the Insert Jacks, you must use a “Half Insert.” Why a Half Insert? Insert Jack signals have 3 components: a Send, a Return, and a Ground. If you fully insert a mono cable, the lack of a Return will cause the signal to ground out. By using the Half Insert technique, you will ensure that only the Send continues through the mixer and you will not shut off the channel strip. If the Channel stops making sound in your mixer, you have fully inserted the cable. Full Insert Half Insert Using Stereo Cables with the Insert Jack The Tracker MT16’s built-in inputs are designed to allow you to use stereo cables, or TRS cables, without any special consideration. Simply plug your cables fully into the insert jacks and the Tracker MT16’s inputs, arm your channels, and record. Note that stereo cables plugged into an insert jack will avoid the need to use a half insert, but will only record a mono signal. Tracker MT16 — User Guide Connecting Your Tracker MT16 to a JamHub Studio Your Tracker MT16 comes with one JamHub Connect cable to connect to any JamHub studio. Simply plug the JamHub Connect cable into the JamHub Connect port on the back of your Tracker MT16, and plug the other side into any of the SoleMix™ remote ports on your JamHub studio. When recording from a JamHub studio, it is important to note that the Tracker MT16 will be recording up to 7 stereo channels of live audio, and that the microphone and instrument inputs on each SoleMix section are summed before being recorded. So if you have a guitar and a microphone plugged into Section 1 (blue) of your JamHub studio, the Tracker MT16 will record these as 1 stereo signal, rather than 2 separate audio sources. The global effects (the FX bus) in your JamHub studio will be recorded in a separate stereo channel should you want it during postproduction. © 2014 JamHub Corp. All rights reserved.

Patents pending. 10 Using the Tracker MT16 Breakout Cable To gain full access to the Tracker MT16’s 16 channels of recording power, you will need to use JamHub’s Tracker MT16 Breakout Cable (sold separately), which plugs easily into the JamHub Connect port located next to the AC Adapter Input, and seamlessly connects you to your mixing desk through the Insert Jacks. 11 Tracker MT16 — User Guide SAVE THE MUSIC How Your Tracker MT16 Saves Files The Tracker MT16 saves files onto the included SD card. When recording in “Split Mode”, each channel’s recording is saved as an individual WAV file, MP3 or ALAC file. Most Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) will open a WAV or MP3, you will need to check with your DAW manufacturer to find out if ALAC compression formats are compatible. In addition, the Tracker COMBINE mode will save all tracks recorded in a single WAV file that can be transferred easily across the Internet to Bandlab. Bandlab will decode and breakout tracks recorded and will prepare them for mixing.
