recording audio tracks in the Fantom-G. If you’re looking for a quick tutorial,
Page 14 of the Workshop booklet The Fantom-G Possibilities is the place to
go. And, as with sequencing, the numbered steps you’ll find in the following
sections are intended only to place the various screens and concepts we’ll
cover in context.
Connecting Mics, Instruments, and Audio Devices
Before recording, of course, you’ll need to connect your mic, instrument, or
audio device to the appropriate rear-panel AUDIO INPUT jack. To record:
• a mic with a 1/4” or XLR connector—plug its cable into the MIC/GUITAR
audio input.
If your mic requires phantom power, set the GUITAR/PHANTOM switch
next to the jack to its ON position, unless your instrument has an
active pickup and preamp.
Be sure the GUITAR/PHANTOM switch is set to OFF if your mic doesn’t
require phantom power—failing to do so could damage your mic.
• an electric guitar or bass—plug it into the MIC/GUITAR audio input.
When you’re connecting a standard electric guitar or bass, set the
GUITAR switch next to its jack to the (Hi-Z) position.
• an external synth, sound module, sampler, or beat box with analog
outputs—connect it to the LINE IN jack(s). If the instrument’s output is:
• mono—connect its cable to the LINE IN L/MONO jack.
• stereo—connect its left and right outputs to the LINE IN L/
MONO and R jacks, respectively.
• an external audio device with analog outputs such as a personal music
player or turntable—connect its left and right outputs to the LINE IN L/
MONO and R jacks, respectively.
• an external instrument or device with coaxial S/P DIF digital outputs—
connect it to the Fantom-G’s DIGITAL AUDIO (COAXIAL) IN jack.
• digital audio streaming via USB from a computer—connect the computer’s
USB jack to the Fantom-G’s COMPUTER USB jack.
For more details on connecting audio devices, see Page 3 of the Adding
Live Audio to the Fantom-G Workshop booklet.
