Stereo Pairs
When the “Stereo” checkbox is active in the Inputs & Recording tab for a pair of Inputs, the
representative Inputs in the Outputs and Monitoring tab will display them as “locked” as a stereo pair.
The lock icon represents two sources linked as a stereo pair.
The Pan sliders for a “locked” stereo pair are automatically set to 100% Left and Right.
Using Tool Tips
You can obtain precise value readings for output levels, volume sliders and pan sliders. Do this by
hovering the mouse cursor over the meter or slider you wish to read.
About Sample Rate and Bit Depth
When you select a Sample Rate in your audio recording software, your Line 6 hardware’s audio driver
will automatically match the sample rate setting. It is important to manually match the Bit Depth
settings between your audio recording software and Line 6 audio driver as well. Here are a few things
to check:
• Congure your recording program’s sample rate settings, and then conrm that your Line 6
hardware is running at the correct settings in the Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices dialog (Windows
®
)
or in the Audio-MIDI Setup dialog (on Mac
®
). It is best to always change the sample rate settings
in your audio software. In most audio software you’ll want to make this setting as a Global setting
or as a per project setting, and always before you start a new project for it to use a new sample
rate.
• Typically, you can choose the 44,100 sample rate in your audio software for most projects. But if
you have special requirements for your session, then you can alternatively choose 48,000, 88,200
or 96,000 Hz in your audio software and your Line 6 device will support any of these rates.
• For the Bit Depth on Windows
®
systems, it is typically best choose the 24-bit option in your
Windows
®
audio software and to manually select 24-bit in the Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices
dialog (if your Windows
®
audio software supports this rate - most audio recording software does
these days). If your Windows
®
audio software is set to 16-bit operation, then it is best to match
this setting and choose the 16-bit option in the Line 6 Audio-MIDI Settings dialog.
• For the Bit Depth on Mac
®
systems, it is recommended you choose 24-bit in your recording
software for all projects. As you’ll see in the Mac
®
Audio-MIDI Setup dialog, 24-bit is the xed
setting for both Audio Input and Output for all Line 6 devices.
