Preparing recordings

Depending on your device, you can use different applications to make

recordings and configure your MK 4 digital.

1. iOS devices: Apogee MetaRecorder, Apogee Maestro or other com-

patible core audio apps

2. Mac and Windows computer: other audio production software

XWhen using Apogee MetaRecorder or Apogee Maestro, observe the

following chapters in the isntallation and configuration of the apps.

Connecting headphones or a headset

To avoid feedback when making recordings on iOS devices, the input

signal of the MK 4 digital must not be sent to the device loudspeaker,

but must be sent to headphones or a headset. If you want to make

recordings on a Mac or Windows computer, you can also use monitor-

ing loudspeakers.

CAUTION

Limited recording quality due to a wrongly-selected audio

source

The Apogee MetaRecorder and Apogee Maestro apps use

the last connected device as the audio source. If you are

using a headset for monitoring, recordings can inadver-

tently be made via the headset’s microphone.

XConnect the headphones or the headset to your iOS

device before connecting the MK 4 digital.

XMake sure that the MK 4 digital is recognized as the

last connected device by the app.

To be able to monitor the input signal on an iOS device, you also have

to activate the monitoring function in your recording app (see chapter

“Preparing recordings using Apogee MetaRecorder” or “Preparing

recordings using Apogee Maestro”).

XConnect headphones or a headset to the headphone connection of

your iOS device.

During the recording, you can monitor the input signal via the

headphones or the headset.

If you want to use monitoring loudspeakers on a Mac or Windows

computer:

XSet up the loudspeakers in the range of the lowest sensitivity of the

MK 4 digital (see diagram Don the cover pages).
