No Communication with the mixer:
• The PC driver may not be installed correctly.
Make sure your computer meets the system
requirements. Uninstall the driver from the Add/
Remove Programs control panel, restart your
computer, and reinstall the driver.
• Restart your computer and the mixer.
I hear my Windows/Mac sounds
through my mixer, but I don’t want to:
The mixer should not be selected as your computer’s
sound system default device. To disable it:
• On a PC, go to Control Panel>Sound and Audio
Devices. In the Audio tab, be sure the Blend 16
is not selected as the default device for sound
playback.
• On a Mac, go to Applications>Utilities>Audio
MIDI Setup. In the Audio Devices tab, be sure the
Blend 16 is not selected for your default or system
outputs. You can also change this in the Sounds
Preferences pane of the OS X System Preferences
application.
My guitar (or other instrument)
doesn’t sound as good as I expect:
• If your guitar is connected directly to the mixer
(i.e., without a direct box or preamp), be sure you
are using the INST input on channels 1-8.
• Check the mixer Gain and EQ settings, and make
sure you have not overdone the EQ or the audio is
clipping.
• Could we suggest you might need more practice?
Can I transfer my classic record
collection?
• Yes, but please follow all copyright rules.
• Mixer channels 13 and 14 can accept phono
level signals from a turntable. The internal phono
preamp equalizes and boosts your turntable
phono-level signals to line-level.
• It is most likely that your turntable has RCA
outputs, so you will need to buy adapters from
RCA (female) to 1/4" (male). These adapters are
commonly stocked in most electronics and audio
stores.
• Some companies provide software plug-ins that
remove pops and clicks from the recordings. This
kind of spoils some of the fun though.
Still having USB problems?
• Be sure you are running the latest drivers.
• If after updating, you still are having problems,
please call tech support.
