Tips for eliminating distortion when using the
analog inputs
Ifsoundfromtheanaloginputsisdistorted,butthe
CLIP!messagedoesn’tappear,it’spossiblethat
distortionisoccurringattheanaloginputstage,orthat
distortionisbeingcausedbythesettingsoftheinternal
effects.
Ifthe“A D C OVERLOAD!”messageappearsabovethe
RecordingLevelmeters,thedistortionisdu

excessivelevelsattheinput.Inthiscase,eitherlower
theoutputleveloftheexternalaudiosource,oradjust
theMIC/LINEgainselectswitchandLEVELknobso
thatthismessagedoesnotappear.
Ifthereisdistortion,butthe“A D C OVERLOAD!”

Examples of audio track recording
Recording an external input on audio track 1
Inthisexample,we’llexplainhowaguitarconnected
totheAudioInput1jackcanberecordedonaudio
track1.
Recordingandplaybackonanaudiotrackcanoccur
untiltheendofthemastertrack.Youcannotrecord
forlongerthan80minutes.
Connect your guitar
1. ConnectyourguitartotherearpanelAUDIO
INPUT1jack.
PresstheAUDIOINPUTMIC/LINEswitchinward
toselecttheLINEposition,andsettheLEVELknob
ataboutthecenter.
Ifyouconnectaguitarwithpassivepickups(i.e.,a
guitarthatdoesnotcontainapreamp),youwillbe
unableto
sampleitatthecorrectlevelbecauseofthe
impedancemismatch.Suchguitarsshouldbe
routedthroughapreamporaneffectunitfirst,and
thenconnectedtotheKRONOS.
