Applying Effects While You Record
Prepare for Recording
Prepare for recording from the input source onto your sequencing software. On your
sequencing software, select the recording track, set the port, and adjust the audio input
level.
Record and Playback
Rewind to the beginning of the song, and begin recording. When you finish recording,
stop.
Rewind to the beginning of the song, and play it back to hear the recorded data. Verify
that the sound processed by the specified effect was recorded.
Adjusting the Output Level
If the output sounds as though it is distorted, even though the input level peak
indicator lit green while the audio signal was being input, use the following
procedure to find the problem.
1.
Were you using the Compressor, Overdrive, Distortion, Enhancer, or Lo-Fi
effect? These effects will produce distortion.
2.
Watch the output level indicator of the UA-100. If the far right LED is lit red, use
the UA-100 Controller to lower the master output fader or turn down the front
panel Line Output Volume (VOLUME) so that the red LED does not light.
3.
Try switching the effect on/off. If the sound is distorted when the effect is on, try
lowering the input fader in the UA-100 Controller Mixer window.
If the sound is still distorted, check the output level of the device that is connected to
the output of the UA-100.
