Recording Using the Microphone/Line Input

To check the input level from the microphone or Line Input:

1. If you are using a mic and have connected the Lambda Studio™ to some moni-

tors, turn them down or off to avoid feedback.

2. If you want to hear the audio source in headphones, turn up the Lambda

Studio™ Output Level knob and turn the Monitor Mix knob counter-clock-

wise (towards the Direct side), then press the Monitor Assign button between

Mic 1 and Mic 2 or Line 1 and Line 2 so it is in the Mono position. This will

let you hear output on both sides of your headphones when recording only one

microphone or line level source.

3. Speak or sing into the microphone or play the line level source while gradually

increasing the gain by turning up the Mic 1 or Line 1 knob until you see the

Peak LED light next to the Mic 1 or Line 1 knob flash occasionally. Check the

Input Bargraph Meter on the front of the Lambda Studio to make sure you are

not clipping the A/D converters (although it's okay to light the -6 LED occasion-

ally).
