GETTING STARTED
To begin recording, create an audio track, assign it to Input 1, and connect a microphone or instrument to
Channel 1 on the front panel of the FireStudio Project. Select the record enable ( ) and monitor ( ) on
your track in Studio One Artist. Turn up the Channel 1 gain knob on the front panel of the FireStudio Project
while speaking/singing into the microphone or playing your instrument. You should see the input meter in
Studio One Artist react to the input. Adjust the gain so the input level is near its maximum without clipping.
Connect a set of headphones to the FireStudio Project headphone output. You may also wish to connect
monitors to the FireStudio Project's Main Outs. You are now ready to record. For complete instructions,
please consult the Studio One
DVD.
