order to be properly recorded, such as dynamic microphones. Note
that phantom power for condenser microphones is not supported.
If you are using a stereo instrument, use both inputs on Push and select
the Link 1 & 2 option in the Audio tab using the corresponding upper
display button. This ensures that the reference levels are the same for
both input channels.
When choosing a Preamp Type, first turn up your instrument as loud as
it can go without distorting. On instruments like a guitar or line level
synth, this means turning the volume all the way up. Then play your
instrument and look at the input meters on Push’s display to make sure
that the level doesn’t peak when your instrument is at its loudest
volume. If you hear any clipping or distortion, or if the level in the input
meter reaches the top of the meter, try using a Preamp Type with a
lower reference level.
If you’ve found the right Preamp Type for your instrument but still have
a bit of headroom available, you can boost the signal a little more using
digital gain. You can use the encoder above each Preamp Type to add
up to +20dB of digital gain. But be careful as it is possible to clip the
signal using too much extra gain, so keep an eye on the meter to check
that the level does not reach the very top.
10.2 Recording Audio Clips
If your audio track is armed and configured properly, you should be
able to hear the incoming signal as you play your instrument or use
your microphone.
