I cannot hear audio input (Mic, Line-in, or AUX) from my speakers.
• Go to the Mixer recording page in the Essence STX II Audio Center and select the correct input
as the recording source.
• Remember to turn on the digital monitoring button for that recording source.
I found no sound effects when playing 96K or 192KHz sound sources.
• Currently, Essence STX II effects including Dolby, supports common 44.1K, 48KHz sound
sources processing and provides high-definition audio (96K/19KHz) in hi-fidelity playback.
This is also usually the behavior that professional audiophiles and musicians prefer.
• If you still want to add effects to your audio, you can use sound editing software such as
Ableton Live, Cakewalk, CooEdit, or Soundforge to convert the sounds into 48KHz files.
• The frequency meter on the Audio Center panel will not take effect when the playback source
is using either a 96KHz or 19KHz sample rate to prevent any processing distortion.
