Adjust the channel LEVEL controls so that the corresponding PEAK LEDs ash only occasionally on the highest input transients.

Level meter

Bus level mete
To save the project le select [Save] from the [File] menu and enter a le name before actually saving the le. Save your project le frequently to insure against losing large amounts of data if a problem occurs. Repeat steps 1 through 5 to record further material on the same track. To record additional material on a different track, select a new track and repeat the record procedure.

Mixing with Cubase AI

In this section well try mixing down multiple recorded audio tracks to stereo, and creating a wav le. Mixes can be stored as WAV or AIFF les, which can then be recorded to audio CDs.
Launch Cubase AI and open a project le. Click the [Start] button on the Transport Panel. While listening to playback, drag the channel strip level faders up and down to create the desired initial balance, then adjust the overall volume using the bus volume fader. Drag the pan controls on the top of the channel strips left and right to set the stereo position of each track.
Enter a le name and select a destination for the le as well as a le type. If you intend to use the le to create an audio CD, select the WAV le type (AIFF on Macintosh OS X), Stereo Out (stereo), 44.1 kHz, and 16 bit.

At this point you can begin to use EQ to rene your mix, and add effects. As an example lets try adding reverb. Click the [Edit] button ( ) on the left side of the channel strip to open the VST audio channel settings window. Click Insert 1 and select Reverb - RoomWorks SE.
NOTE For further details refer to the pdf manual pro-
vided with the Cubase AI software.
Its a good idea to lower the channel fader a bit before adding an effect, since the effect can cause an increase in the overall channel level.
Click [Export]. Progress of the mixdown operation will be shown in a progress window. When the progress window closes the mixdown is complete.
NOTE Files created by mixdown can be directly
played back using the Windows Media Player, or iTunes.
When the nal mix adjustments have been made, go to the [File] menu and select [Export] [Audio Mixdown].

Controls and Functions

!6 q w e r
t y u i o !0 !1 !2 !3 !4 !5

1 MIC/INST Input Jack

Microphones and instruments such as guitars can be connected here using XLR or phone jack cables. Set the MIC/INST switch 5 to MIC or INST according to the type of device connected.

XLR-type Phone-type

3 STEREO OUT Jacks
These output the mixed signal from channels 1 to 5/6. The output level can be adjusted using the MASTER LEVEL control. These jacks would typically be connected to monitor speakers (powered speakers).

4 PHONES Jack

Connects a pair of headphones to this jack. The PHONES jack outputs the same signal as the STEREO OUT jacks.

5 MIC/INST Switch

You can directly connect an electric guitar or bass without the need for a separate DI (Direct Injection) box or amp simulator.
2 LINE Input Jacks (L (MONO)/R)
These inputs are intended mainly for use with instruments and equipment having stereo outputs, such as a synthesizer or CD player. If you connect to the L (MONO) jack only, the AUDIOGRAM will recognize the signal as monaural and will send the identical signal to both the L and R jacks.

Phone-type

Set this switch according to the type of device connected. Select MIC ( ) if a microphone is connected, or INST ( ) if an electric guitar or bass is connected. NOTE If a device is not connected to the MIC/ INST jack, set this switch to MIC ( ). Otherwise noise may occur.

6 GAIN Control

Adjusts the input signal level. To achieve the best balance between S/N ratio and dynamic range, adjust the level so that the input channel PEAK indicator 9 lights only occasionally and briey on the highest input transients.

7 COMP Control

Adjusts the amount of compression applied to the channel. As the knob is turned to the right, the interface automatically raises the compression ratio while adjusting the output gain accordingly. The result is smoother, more even dynamics because louder signals are attenuated while the overall level is boosted. NOTE Avoid setting the compression too high, as the higher average output level that results may lead to feedback.

8 MONO/STEREO Switch

This switch allows channels 1 and 2 to be used either as separate mono channels or as a stereo pair. When set to MONO ( ), channels 1 and 2 function as independent mono channels feeding both the L and R STE), input REO OUT jacks 3. When set to STEREO ( channels 1 and 2 function as a stereo pair: the channel 1 signal feeds the L STEREO OUT jack and the channel 2 signal feeds the R STEREO OUT jack.
Be sure to leave this switch off ( ) if you do not need phantom power. When turning the switch on, be sure that only a condenser microphone is connected to the channel 1 MIC/INST input jack. Other devices may be damaged if connected to phantom power. This precaution does not apply to balanced dynamic microphones or instruments with the phone jack, however, as these will not be affected by phantom power. To prevent damage to speakers, be sure to turn off power ampliers (or powered speakers) before turning this switch on or off. We also recommend that you set the MASTER LEVEL control to the minimum position. Neglect of these precautions may result in large noise bursts that may damage your equipment, your ears, or both.

C Level Indicators

These indicators show signal levels prior to the MASTER LEVEL control E. The SIGNAL LED lights when a signal is present, and the PEAK LED lights when the signal reaches or exceeds clipping level. Adjust the input channel LEVEL controls 0 so that the PEAK LEDs ash only briey on occasional high-level peaks or not at all.

9 PEAK Indicators

The PEAK indicators light when the channel signal reaches or exceeds clipping level. Note that signal levels as indicated by the PEAK indicators are affected by both the GAIN and LEVEL controls. If a PEAK indicator lights, adjust the GAIN 6 and COMP 7 controls to lower the level so that the indicator goes out.

D DAW Control

Adjusts the level of the signal received from Cubase AI sent to the AUDIOGRAM STEREO OUT jacks 3.

0 LEVEL Controls

Adjusts the level of the channel signal. Use these controls to adjust the balance between the various channels.

E MASTER LEVEL Control

Adjusts the signal level sent to the STEREO OUT jacks
3. This allows you to adjust the overall volume without
changing the relative volume balance among the channels.

A POWER Indicator

This indicator lights when power is applied to the AUDIOGRAM interface via the USB cable (supplied) that connects it to the computer.

F USB Connector

Connects the AUDIOGRAM interface to a USB port on your computer via the supplied USB cable. In addition to transferring audio data between the AUDIOGRAM interface and the computer, the USB cable supplies power from the computer to the AUDIOGRAM interface.
When connecting or disconnecting the USB cable be sure to turn the DAW control and the MASTER LEVEL control all the way down.
B PHANTOM +48V (CH1) Switch/Indicator

(only for channel 1)

This switch toggles phantom power on and off. If you set the switch on ( ), the AUDIOGRAM supplies phantom power to channel 1 MIC/INST jack (XLR-type) 1. Turn this switch on when using a phantom-powered condenser microphone.
Yamaha recommends that you use a USB cable with a length of 1.5 meter or less.
