3. Now we will setup our software to
record. Open Cubase, go to FILE and select
NEW PROJECT, then select DEFAULT.
Select a location to store the project and
click on OK. To add an audio track, right
click in the dark gray column and select
Add Audio Track. In the Add Audio Track
dialog, set the configuration to Mono and
click OK. Now we need to set the input
of the track so we can record from the
1-2 USB assign. Click on
the SHOW INSPECTOR but-
ton so that it's lit. You will
now see the Track Inspector
window to the left. Click
on the LEFT - STEREO IN:
box and select STEREO IN
> LEFT for the track input
source. (LEFT relates to Mic 1 and RIGHT
relates to Mic 2 now that we are
using the 1-2 USB assign for the Mic
Inputs). Next, click on the RECORD
ENABLE button so that it is red.
Click on the INPUT MONITORING button so that it is not lit.
4. Now that the software is ready to record let’s
check our level from the microphone. If you’ve
connected the Omega to some monitors and
they are nearby, turn them down or off to
avoid feedback. On the front of the Omega
make sure the METER ASSIGN button is in
the 1-2 position (button is out). Now speak
into the microphone while gradually turning
up the Mic 1 knob (gain) until you see the
peak light next to Mic 1 flash occasionally.
Now check the meter on the front of the Omega to make sure you are not clipping.
If you want to hear the mic in headphones, turn up the Omega’s Output Level
control and turn the Monitor Mix control left (towards the Direct side).
5. Now let’s start recording. Click on the RECORD
BUTTON on Cubase’s Transport con-
trol. Speak or play an instrument into the
Microphone. When you are finished recording
press the STOP BUTTON . Press REWIND
and press the PLAY BACK button to listen to the track you have just
recorded. Turn the Omega Output Level knob to adjust the listening volume, and
make sure the Monitor Mix control is somewhere in the middle between “Direct”
and “Playback”.
