Monitoring Section
This section describes the controls found the monitoring section. These controls affect what you hear through your monitor speakers
and the headphone output.
MONITOR MIX (Top-Right Control)
This control directly affects what you hear coming out of your
monitors and headphones. When the control is set to left-most
position labelled
INPUT
, you will hear only the sources you
have connected to Channel 1 and Channel 2 directly,
without
latency
.
If you are recording a stereo input source (e.g. a stereo
keyboard or synth) using Channels 1 and 2, press the
STEREO
switch so that you hear it in stereo. If you are only
recording using one Channel (e.g. a vocal recording), make
sure that
STEREO
is not pressed, otherwise you will hear the
vocal in one ear!
When the
MONITOR MIX
control is set to the right-most
position labelled
USB
, you will hear only the audio output
from your computer's USB stream e.g. music playing from
your media player (e.g. iTunes/Spotify/Windows Media Player)
or the outputs of your DAW tracks (Pro Tools, Live, etc).
Positioning the control anywhere in-between
INPUT
and
USB
will give you a variable blend of the two options. This can be
really useful when you need to record with no audible latency.
Please refer to the
for more information on using this feature.
GREEN USB LED
Illuminates solid green to indicate that the unit is succesfully receiving power over USB.
MONITOR LEVEL (Large Blue Control)
This large blue control directly affects the level sent out of
OUTPUTS L
(Left) and
R
(Right) to your monitors. Turn the knob to make
the volume louder. Please note the
MONITOR LEVEL
goes to 11 because it's one louder.
PHONES
This control sets the level for the
PHONES
headphones output.
