Refer to the "Win (Mac) Driver/Readme .
htm" file on the STUDIO-CAPTURE Driver
CD-ROM .
Connect the STUDIO-CAPTURE directly to
one of the computer's USB ports .
You must use the included USB cable .
Some commercially available USB cables
do not meet the requirements of the
USB standard, and this may prevent
the STUDIO-CAPTURE from operating
correctly .
Turn off the monitoring function (p . 69) .
Wait and try playing back or recording
later .
Clear the "Reduce CPU load" check box
(p . 55) .
Move as far away from the computer as
possible .
If the noise decreases when you lower your
guitar's volume, it may be that your guitar's
pickups are being affected by noise from
your computer or display .
Disconnect the unused microphone or
guitar, and turn the [SENS] knob fully to
the left in order to lower the input level .
You may be able to solve the problem
by grounding a metal component of
your computer or the ground pin of our
computer's AC adaptor (p . 76) . Also check
whether there might be a device nearby
that is emitting a strong electromagnetic
field, such as a television or microwave
oven .
When you connect a microphone, please
connect to the XLR plug (p . 8) .
