Steps to a successful recording session:
- Once the Steinberg UR22 driver is installed on your laptop, plug the audio interface in via the USB cable
- Attach the XLR cable to the microphone and the Line 1 “IN” port on the audio interface
- If using both microphones, attach the second to the Line 2 “IN” port on the audio interface
- Check the ‘input’ on your recording software (Audacity, Garageband, Audition, etc) is set to UR22
- Check the ‘output’ on your recording software is set to ‘Headphones’ or ‘System Settings’ and that your headphones are plugged into your laptop
- 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
- A red and white light will illuminate when the audio interface is plugged in
- Press ‘record’ on your recording software and test the input volume via the dial on the audio interface
- Proceed with recording your audio
- Disconnect all equipment and return it to the cabinet and lock it for the next session; return the key to reception
