Setting Levels
In this example, a guitar plays through an amplifier with a microphone in front of the
amplifier’s speaker. This microphone is plugged directly into the Steinberg CI1
microphone input. You have set the level so that you have enough volume without
clipping.
1. Activate the Record Ready button to hear the guitar.
You should see the audio coming in to the right of the track.
2. Do the best you can to send the maximum amount of volume to the audio inputs of
your audio card before you hear any distortion.
Most audio cards show some kind of level or volume indication.

The tempo of the project has changed to match the drum loop. When you drag a file
into an empty project, its tempo defines the project tempo. Read more about defining
or changing the project tempo in the section
“The Tempo (TEMPO)” on page 64.
