in the track input (before recording). Therefore you can try out various
effects without altering the recorded data.
Cubase LE 4 installation
Connections and preparation
Access the "Devices" menu of Cubase LE 4 and
select "Mixer".
The mixer window appears.
This window shows the channel assigned to the created track, and the
master channel.
Perform the following steps here.
Mixer window
Click monitoring button so

Channel assigned to audio track
Master channel
While playing your instrument, adjust the output level
of this unit to achieve a suitable recording level for
Cubase LE 4.
Level meter
The recording level for Cubase LE 4 can be checked with the level
meter for the channel that is assigned to the recording standby track.
Set the level as high as possible without causing the meter to reach the
end of the scale.
To adjust the level, do not use the fader of Cubase LE 4. Instead
change the recording level and gain settings at this unit.
NOTE
The level meter as in the above illustration shows the signal level after
processing in this unit. When you pluck a guitar string the meter may
register with a slight delay, but this is not a defect.
Click on the monitoring button to turn it off and use
the [DIRECT MONITOR] knob of this unit to adjust the
monitoring volume.
This will allow adjustment with less latency than when going through
Cubase LE 4.
NOTE
Contrary to the above recommendation, when a plug-in effect is
inserted, the monitoring button should be lit in orange and the
[DIRECT MONITOR] knob of this unit should be turned down. If the
knob is turned up, the sound will have a flanger-like quality.

To continue using Cubase LE 4, a process called activation (license
authentication and product registration) is necessary. When you start

Internet browser. Follow the instructions on that page to register and
activate the product.
For optimum enjoyment
While using Cubase LE 4, other applications may slow down
drastically or a message such as "Cannot synchronize with USB audio
interface" may appear. If this happens frequently, consider taking the
following steps to optimize the operation conditions for Cubase LE 4.
(1) Shut down other applications besides Cubase LE 4.
In particular, check for resident software and other utilities.
(2) Reduce plug-ins (effects, instruments) used by Cubase LE
4.
When there is a high number of plug-ins, the computer's
processing power may not be able to keep up. Reducing
the number of tracks for simultaneous playback can also be
helpful.
If applications still run very slowly or the computer itself does not
function properly, disconnect this unit from the computer and shut
down Cubase LE 4. Then reconnect the USB cable and start Cubase
LE 4 again.
