How to use

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a quality XLR microphone with a balanced cable for vocal tracking and a low-noise instrument cable for guitar. Set input gain to avoid clipping while maintaining good headroom, enable low-latency driver mode in your DAW if available, and use closed-back headphones for monitoring to reduce bleed during recording.
