Instead change the recording level and gain settings at the H4n. NOTE + While the monitoring button is enabled, the direct signal input to the Hän and the signal routed to the computer and then returned to the Hän will be output simultaneousiy from the H4n, causing a flanger- like effect in the sound. To accurately monitor the sound also while adjusting the recording level, temporarily set the output device port or the VST connection (step 6) to “Not Connected”. ‘The level meter as in the above illustration shows the signal level after processing in the H4n. When you pluck a guitar string the meter may register with a slight delay, but this is not a defect. When the recording level has been adjusted, click the monitoring button to disable it. The input level is no longer shown on the meter, and the signal returned to the H4n via the computer is muted.

NOTE To continue using Cubase LE 4, a process called activation (license authentication and product registration) is necessary. When you start Cubase LE 4, a screen offering to register the product will appear. Select "Register Now”. À web site for registration will open in your Internet browser. Follow the instructions on that page to register and activate the product.

( For optimum enjoyment While using Cubase LE 4, other applications may slow down drastically or a message such as "Cannot synchronize with USB audio interface* may appear. If this happens frequently, consider taking the following steps to optimize the operation conditions for Cubase LE 4. {1) Shut down other applications besides Cubase LE 4. In particular, check for resident software and other utiities. (2) Reduce plug-ins (effects, instruments) used by Cubase LE

When there is a high number of plug-ins, the computer's processing power may not be able to keep up. Reducing the number of tracks for simultaneous playback can also be helpful. (8) Power the unit from an AC adapter. When a device designed to use USB power is powered via the USB port, the current supply may sometimes fluctuate, leading to problems. See if using an AC adapter improves operation. If applications still run very slowly or the computer itself does not function properly, disconnect the Hn from the computer and shut down Cubase LE 4. Then reconnect the USB cable and start Cubase LE 4 again. KL /
