Input

The meter shows the level after the gain. Gain added here also raises the noise; set the mic's own gain first if it has one.

You hear yourself with a delay. Use headphones. A USB mic's own headphone jack has no delay.

Click

With the click or a backing track on, a take is lined up to bar 1. The count-in is recorded too, outside the trim: move the start handle to keep a note sung before bar 1. The 5 seconds before the tap are not kept.

Backing track

None. A WAV, MP3 or M4A file, or a zip with one audio file inside (such as a take from the rig's Monitors).

Use headphones, so the backing track is not recorded. The backing track plays from Start at when bar 1 begins, and the take is saved lined up with it. The file name and start point are saved with the take.

Timing

With the click or a backing track, each take is moved earlier by the delay between the page playing a sound and the mic hearing it, so it lines up with bar 1.

Measure the delay: hold the headphones against the mic (or connect the interface's output to its input) and tap the button. The page plays 8 clicks, listens for them, and sets Timing adjust.
