Action
Set the Format to "STEREO".
If the input level is too high, the sound will distort. If the
input level is too low, noise will be obtrusive.
Adjust the input level to an appropriate setting.
Some types of effect may increase the level louder than
the original sample, or may intentionally distort the sound.
Some effects will also cause noise to be emphasized.
Temporarily turn off effects, and check whether the sample
itself contains noise or distortion. Then adjust the effect
settings appropriately.
Even if the level of each individual sample is appropriate,
simultaneously playing multiple samples may cause the
overall level to be excessively high, causing distortion.
Lower the level of each sample so that the sound is not
distorted.
MIC INPUT jack is mono jacks.
To input in stereo, connect the L channel to L/MONO jack
and the R channel to R jack.
For an external audio device (external sound module, music
player, etc.):
Adjust the volume on the connected device.
Set the input gain to "LINE".
For a mic:
Set the input gain to "MIC".
Adjust the rear panel LEVEL knob.
If the volume still does not increase, adjust the Input Level.
For audio signals from the USB COMPUTER port:
Adjust the volume on the computer.
Adjust the USB Audio Input Level.
Turn AUDIO IN on.
Check the connections.
