You can listen to the input using headphones directly via the KOMPLETE AUDIO 6. First, turn the INPUT/HOST knob to the left (INPUT). Then adjust the 1-2/3-4 and the MONO/STEREO switches as follows:

If you are using a microphone or instrument connected to IN 1, 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 6: The blue LEDs should light up solidly. Avoid levels reaching the red LEDs as your recording might become distorted!

Note: If you are using a stereo synthesizer or any other stereo line level source connected to IN 3 and IN 4, the input level is fixed. Use the output volume control of your synthesizer or other line level source to adjust the level.

Open a new Project. Then open the Sample Editor.

In the Sample Editor, make the following settings in the INPUT section:
