6. Now let’s overdub a second 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.
Under the Track Inspector select STEREO IN >

ENABLE button so that it is red. Click
on the INPUT MONITORING button so that it is not lit. Click on Track 1’s
RECORD ENABLE button so that it turns off.
7. Now we will set our monitor levels so we
get a comfortable monitor mix level. On the
front of the Omega locate the MONITOR MIX
Knob. While playing back the previous record-
ing listen to the input of the microphone. To
make the Microphone louder than the record-
ing, turn the MONITOR MIX knob towards the
DIRECT side. To make the recorded track louder
turn the MONITOR MIX knob towards the
PLAYBACK side.
NOTE: This does not change the recorded volume, only what you hear while you are
recording. You can also adjust the playback level and pan position of the original track
in your monitor by adjusting the contols for Channel 1 on Cubase’s Mixer window.
8. Now click on RECORD and record the second track.
B. RECORDING A GUITAR INTO THE INSTRUMENT JACK
Now let’s record a new basic track starting with a guitar
1. Plug your guitar into the instrument jack on the front of the
Omega Studio.
NOTE: this jack is intended for passive guitar pickups, not line
inputs such as the output of a keyboard or a direct out from a
guitar amplifier. For those, use the Line In jacks on the back
of the Omega Studio.
2. The instrument jack uses Line 3, so press the USB ASSIGN button between Line
3 and 4 until the red 1-2 USB Assign LED is lit.
Press the MONITOR button between line 3 and 4 so that it is in the MONO position.
