For many cases, this is most straight forward way. You\u2019ll need to bring your own fast (100 MB\/s <\/strong>or more) Micro SD Card for recording the audio to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These steps take you through recording a typical setup using the two A Pod microphones. More sources can be added through BlueTooth and USB and this document has details for that, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Set up the A Pod<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The user guide \u201cSet up the audio hardware for recording<\/a>\u201d walks you through the simple steps needed to make sure everything is ready. Do that first, then return here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Ready the Micro SD Card<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Insert the card into the slot on the back of the right side of the mixer until it locks in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For consistent results, we recommend formatting the card at this point. This will remove all data already on the card, so be warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the mixer\u2019s display, choose: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Settings > Hardware > Micro SD card > Format SD card. Then slide to the right to format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have formatted the card, you can press the HOME key to return to the main menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Setting the microphone input levels<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the hardware setup you performed in \u201dSet up the audio hardware for recording<\/a>\u201c, your sliders corresponding to Mic 1 and Mic 2 may still need some sliding to make sure you\u2019re getting good audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Speak closely into the microphones and set your levels so that the signal lights bounce just past the white line on the metering panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use headphones to listen to the audio while recording, adjusting the corresponding rotating knobs marked with a headphone icon. Room speakers can not be used, as the sound would feed back in to the microphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Ready, set, go<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At this point, a regular 1-2 microphone setup is good to go. For adding more sources, please refer to the next paragraph for details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
