Using V3 - Art TPS II User Manual

USING V3:
The V3 presets have been voiced with the intent of being a starting
point for the recording process.
The key to good recordings is to consider all the variables you will
encounter during the process.
For example...which microphone are you using? Are you recording a
particularly bright guitar into a very trebly guitar amplifier? Are the
strings on your acoustic made of metal or nylon? Is the room live or
flat?
We mention this because V3 is intended as a reference, not a hard-
and-fast absolute. For your particular applications, a bass guitar may
sound better through a non-bass preset.
If you need to, give it a twist...you'll find the setting for the tone you are
searching for!
The TPS II is also ideal for use as a DI box. Plug the instrument into
either input and use the XLR or ¼" (or both) outputs to connect to your
recorder, board or PA system.
Because of it's low noise and excellent tonal qualities, the TPS II is
ideal for running mixes through before recording to DAT, cassette, or
even into your computer or DAW. Used as a mastering device, the
preamps are capable of adding warmth and gentle tube compression
to the signal. Variable Input and Output level controls make the
preamps ideal for level matching material in postproduction situations.
