(4.15.2) Recording
When Flex Prime’s USB port is connected to your computer, you can select and use Flex Prime as a 24-bit audio
interface, enabling you to play audio through it or to send its audio signal to the computer. It can use sample rates
of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, or 96 kHz.
Important Note for Windows Users: Before connecting Flex Prime to your computer, download the necessary
drivers from support.headrushfx.com and install them.
To use Flex Prime as an audio interface with your computer:
1. On Flex Prime, tap the Menu icon in the upper-left corner of the Main screen, and then tap Global Settings.
2. In the Global Settings screen, tap the USB Audio tab located in the column on the left side.
3. On the USB audio tab, set your sample rate to be the same sample rate as the one in your DAW.
4. Next, for the USB Mode setting, tap one of these options:
• Live: The audio signal will be sent to your computer as well as to Flex Prime’s outputs.
• DAW: The audio signal will be sent to your computer only. Flex Prime’s outputs will be disabled to prevent
any latency while monitoring.
5. To use Flex Prime with your computer audio, open your computer’s Control Panel (Windows
®
) or System
Preferences (macOS
®
), open its sound/audio settings, and select Flex Prime as the device for recording/input
and/or for playback/output.
6. To use Flex Prime with a DAW, make sure Flex Prime is selected as your audio interface for both recording/
input and playback/output.
Flex Prime can send four separate audio signal channels to your computer. Before recording Flex Prime’s audio
signal into your digital audio workstation (DAW), select the channel/channels you want to record:
1: the left channel of the 1/4" outputs with all active effects applied.
2: the right channel of the 1/4" outputs with all active effects applied.
3: a mono channel of the guitar input with no effects applied.
4: identical audio signal to 3.
Flex Prime can receive four separate audio signal channels from your computer. The channels are named and routed
as follows:
1: the left channel of your computer’s output audio signal, which will be sent directly out of Flex Prime’s main
outputs and phones output.
2: the right channel of your computer’s output audio signal, which will be sent directly out of Flex Prime’s main
outputs and phones output.
3: a mono channel of your computer’s audio signal, which will be sent back through Flex Prime (see (4.15.3)
Reamping below).
4: not used in this scenario.
Important: Remember to set your DAW’s main outputs to be sent to 1/2.
