Stage 1: Record the Performance
The dry guitar signal is recorded directly onto a track in the DAW�
To do this on Ensemble:
1� Connect a guitar to a front panel guitar input on Ensemble�
2� Setup an audio track in your DAW to record from the guitar input (G1 = In 11, G2 = In 12)� To keep things
simple, leave Ensemble’s input gain at 0dB�
3� Record the performance in your DAW�
Monitoring as you Record
For the best performance, many players prefer to hear themselves through a guitar amp as they record�
a� Connect a guitar cable from Ensemble’s guitar out to an amplier’s input.
b� Set the guitar output to “Thru”� This can be
done with the front panel Assignable C button
(page 51), or in Apogee Control’s Out tab of
the Primary window (page 50)�
When set to “Thru”, the guitar output sends a
direct signal sourced from the guitar input jack�
The resulting signal to your eects pedals and/or
amplier produces the same sound as if the guitar
was connected directly�
