Notes:
yWhen recording a guitar or bass with an active pickup, set the iO2 EXPRESS's MIC/LINE / GUITAR SWITCH to "MIC/LINE." If your instrument uses a passive pickup, set the switch to "GUITAR."
yDo not use the MIC INPUT and GUITAR/LINE INPUT at the same time on one channel. This may overload the channel and cause distortion.
yPlug the iO2 EXPRESS directly into your computer, and avoid using a USB hub. Hubs can interfere with the iO2 EXPRESS's audio and MIDI timing signals.
yTo reduce electrical hum at high gain settings, keep the iO2 EXPRESS's power supply away from your guitar cable and the iO2 EXPRESS's channel inputs.

Be sure your audio software program is set up to receive audio via the iO2 EXPRESS. This can usually be done in your software's "Preferences" or "Device Setup." Please consult your software manual for more information.
* If you have other USB audio devices connected to your computer, which may have identical names, you may need to try selecting each one until the iO2 EXPRESS is recognized.
If you experience too much latency after adjusting your software latency settings, we recommend the free ASIO4ALL (Audio Stream Input/Output) driver for PC at www.asio4all.com. ASIO drivers generally perform better and with lower latency since they create a more efficient communication between audio devices and software.

Notas:
yCuando grabe una guitarra o bajo con captor activo, ajuste el CONMUTADOR MICROFÓNO/LÍNEA / GUITARRA de iO2 EXPRESS a "MIC/LINE". Si su instrumento usa un captor pasivo, ajuste el conmutador a "GUITAR".
yNo utilice la ENTRADA DE MICROFONO (Microphone) y la ENTRADA DE GUITARRA / LÍNEA (Guitar / Line) al mismo tiempo en el mismo canal. Esto puede saturar el canal y causar distorsión.
yEnchufe la iO2 EXPRESS directamente a su computador y evite usar un hub USB. Los hubs pueden interferir con las señales de sincronización de audio y MIDI de la interfaz iO2 EXPRESS.
yPara reducir el zumbido eléctrico cuando se usan ajustes altos de ganancia, mantenga la fuente de alimentación de iO2 EXPRESS alejada del cable de su guitarra y de las entradas de los canales del equipo.
