Steps to a successful recording session:

  1. Once the Steinberg UR22 driver is installed on your laptop, plug the audio interface in via the USB cable
  2. Attach the XLR cable to the microphone and the Line 1 “IN” port on the audio interface
  3. If using both microphones, attach the second to the Line 2 “IN” port on the audio interface
  4. Check the ‘input’ on your recording software (Audacity, Garageband, Audition, etc) is set to UR22
  5. Check the ‘output’ on your recording software is set to ‘Headphones’ or ‘System Settings’ and that your headphones are plugged into your laptop
  6. Alternatively, if you would like to listen live to your recording you can change ‘output’ to UR22 and plug headphones into the audio interface’s headphone jack
  7. A red and white light will illuminate when the audio interface is plugged in
  8. Press ‘record’ on your recording software and test the input volume via the dial on the audio interface
  9. Proceed with recording your audio
  10. Disconnect all equipment and return it to the cabinet and lock it for the next session; return the key to reception
