Setting audio input level
Once you have made the desired connections to the Sampling Input(s) on the Hardware Interface, it’s important to
check the audio input level to avoid clipping. If you are going to sample external audio via the audio hardware of your
computer, you have to adjust the level at the source, i.e. on the pre-amp of the audio hardware (or connected instru-
ment). A good suggestion is to use the Big Meter on the Hardware Interface to be able to monitor the input level(s)
more easily.
D Adjust the level at the source and make sure the level doesn’t exceed 0 dB to avoid clipping.
D If you sample internally, from the output(s) of a device in the rack, adjust the Output Level on the source device
and check the levels with the Sampling Inputs selected on the Big Meter:
Monitoring and Monitor Level
To the left on the Hardware Interface are two buttons and one knob for monitoring the signals on the Sampling In-
puts:
D Click the Monitor button to activate monitoring of the signals present at the Sampling Inputs.
Monitoring will always be active, regardless of if you sample or not.
D Click the Auto button to activate monitoring only during sampling.
Monitoring will only be active during the actual sampling. When you don’t sample, monitoring will be off.
D Turn the Monitor knob to adjust the monitor signal level.
! The Monitor Level knob does not affect the level of the audio to be sampled - only the monitored signal.
