B. RECORDING A GUITAR USING THE INSTRUMENT INPUT

This section explains how to record using the ¼" Instrument input jack on the front
panel.

1. Plug your electric, acoustic, or bass guitar into the Instrument input jack on the

front of the Alpha Studio™ hardware.

Instrument Jack

The Instrument input uses the same recording channel as the Line 1 input;
anything plugged into the ¼" Line 1 input jack on the back of the Alpha Studio
will not be recorded when a cable is connected to the ¼" Instrument input jack
on the front panel.

NOTE: This jack is intended for electric guitar and bass, or acoustic instrument
pickups, not line-level signals such as the output of keyboards or a direct out from a
guitar amplifier. For those, use the Line 1-2 input jacks on the back of the Alpha
Studio hardware.

2. Press the Monitor Assign button between Line 2/Mic and Monitor Mix

knobs so that it is in the Mono position.

location. (See Section I for more information.)
