  • קיין סאָונד רעזולטאַט: Check that your monitors and headphones are correctly connected and powered on. Verify the Monitor Level and Headphone Level knobs are turned up. Ensure the correct output device is selected in your computer's sound settings and your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).
  • קיין אינפוט סיגנאַל: Confirm that microphones/instruments are properly connected to the correct inputs. Check the GAIN knob for the respective channel is turned up. Ensure +48V phantom power is enabled for condenser microphones. Verify the correct input is selected in your DAW.
  • Audio Clipping/Distortion: Reduce the GAIN on the input channel. Ensure your input source is not sending an excessively hot signal. Check your DAW's input levels. The 32-bit float converters offer high dynamic range, but extreme input levels can still cause clipping.
  • לייטאַנסי ישוז: Adjust the buffer size in your DAW's audio settings. Lower buffer sizes reduce latency but require more processing power. Ensure your computer meets the minimum system requirements.
  • ווייכווארג דערקענט נישט דעם אינטערפייס: Reinstall the SSL 360° software and drivers. Try connecting the interface to a different USB port. Restart your computer.
