Page 3: Monitoring
Monitoring Monitoring Monitoring Monitoring A major consideration when recording into a host based DAW (Cubase, Logic, Sonar etc) is that there is always a latency associated with a signal passing through the software. In a DAW setup it is desirable for the musician and engineer (who may be the same person!) to monitor the signal before it reaches the computer audio interface. - Page 4 Analogue recording and monitoring cont’d...

We will now assume that the full features of the channel are required to record an acoustic source such as vocals or acoustic guitar digitally into a DAW. -
Page 8: Recording Amplified Instruments
Recording Amplified Instruments Recording Amplified Instruments Recording Amplified Instruments Recording Amplified Instruments When recording an amped instrument (electric guitar, bass guitar, keyboards etc) it can be a good idea to take both a mic'ed signal from the cabinet and a DI signal directly from the instrument or amplifier. The Alpha Channel is capable of receiving these two signals and summing them in various ways to pro- vide a mono output source. - Page 9 Adding the DI signal: Adding the DI signal: Adding the DI signal: Adding the DI signal: - The direct signal either from a DI box or from the amplifier itself is input to the INSERT RETURN jack. Pressing the SUM button will add the mic and DI signal together. - The PHASE button can be used to alter the relative phase between the two signals.
