This section guides you through sampling the connected equipment in MASCHINE.
Adjusting the Input Level
First, turn the INPUT/HOST knob to the left (INPUT). This way you can listen to your voice, instrument, or synthesizer using headphones.
Then use the GAIN knob next to IN 1 to adjust the input level for your recording. Check the metering on the top of the KOMPLETE AUDIO 1: The blue LEDs should light up solidly. Avoid levels reaching the red LEDs as your recording might become distorted!
Getting Ready
Open a new Project. Then open the Sample Editor.
In the Sample Editor, select Ext. Mono as SOURCE.
Finally, select FREE as the LENGTH of your recording. This way you can sample for as long as you wish.
