How To Record A Synth, Guitar Or Other Instrument - Arturia AUDIOFUSE STUDIO User Manual

1.4.2. How to record a synth, guitar or other instrument

1. Connect your synth, guitar or other instrument with a standard 1/4" cable. You
can use any input on the front panel.
2. AudioFuse Studio will auto-detect that you have connected a 1/4" cable and either
the Line or Inst LED will light up in the Input Channel section.
3. Press the Inst button to ensure that the right kind of input device (line-level or
instrument) is selected:
4. Play the instrument while adjusting the gain knob. The loudest parts of your
performance should cause the channel's VU meter to peak between -10 and
-6dB. Please note that the Pad is activated by default when a channel is in Line
mode.
5. If your sound source is so loud that it overloads the VU meter even at the lowest
gain setting, press the Pad button to switch on the 20dB input gain reduction.
Please note that the PAD is activated by default in Line mode
You're all set! You should now be able to see your instrument in your music software and be
ready to record. Please refer to your software's user guide if you have any questions about
how to record.
