E-MU USB Audio Control Panel E-MU USB AUDIO CONTROL PANEL After you have successfully installed the audio drivers, launch the E-MU USB Audio control panel. The E-MU USB Audio control panel is shown below. • Windows: The E-MU USB Audio control icon will be visible in the Taskbar, which is normally located in the bottom right of the screen. It can also be launched from the Start Menu (All Programs, Creative Professional, E-MU USB Audio Application).
Direct Monitoring DIRECT MONITORING Direct monitoring allows you to monitor inputs without having any software open. It can also be used as an alternative to software monitoring if you desire the lowest latency monitoring possible. When using a computer for digital recording, an audible time delay occurs while the audio signal is being input to the computer, processed by the software and then returned to the output for monitoring. This time delay is called Latency.
Audio Recording Software AUDIO RECORDING SOFTWARE Now that you’ve installed the 0202 USB 2.0, you probably want to start using it! The 0202 USB 2.0 is only one half of the equation—the hardware interface that translates audio signals into the digital language of your computer. The second half of the equation is the software recording application, which records and allows you to edit the audio on your computer.
