INSTALLING THE STUDIO GT
6.To set the gain (volume) settings. Select the
“Properties” button, then select the “Levels”
tab. The “Input” volume control should be
set as close as possible to 0 dB to get the
best dynamic range (Figure 4). If the level
is set higher than this, the noise will be
unecessarliy high. The “Input” volume level
can be shown in either percent or dB, by
right-clicking on it (Figure 5).
7.Select the "Playback" tab, then select the
"Level" tab to set the computer’s Master
Volume to 100% (Figure 6), and use the
Studio GT’s front panel Level knob to
control the overall output from the speakers
and headphones.
Note: Even setting the “Input” volume at 0
dB, the audio signal is still passing through
the Windows volume control and is not
bit-perfect. You can use a free program like
ASIO4ALL, which is a hardware independent
low latency ASIO driver for WDM audio
devices.
Use the following steps to utilize this tool:
Go to http://www.asio4all.com and
download the latest available version of
ASIO4ALL.
Install the software, and restart your
computer if instructed to by the installer.
In your DAW select ASIO4ALL as the default
audio device.
In Sonar LE, for instance, go to Options
Menu>Audio>Advanced tab and set the
Driver Mode to ASIO and press APPLY. Then
go to the General Tab and press the ASIO
Panel button and the ASIO4ALL panel will
open. Select the Samson StudioGT.
If you have any setup questions or issues
please read the FAQ/Troubleshooting
section at the ASIO4ALL website.
