Installing The Studio Gt; Windows 7 & Windows Vista - Samson Studio GT Bedienungsanleitung

Installing the Studio GT

Installing the Studio GT is a simple procedure that takes just a few minutes. Since the
Studio GT is USB compliant, you can use most any PC, connect the included USB cable
and plug and play. You will be able to control your Studio GT using the standard audio
interface controls in the MAC or Windows operating system. You will find detailed
instructions on setting up Windows 7 & Vista in the following sections of this manual.
Windows 7 & Windows Vista
The Studio GT does not require any
special drivers or software. Just plug in
the Studio GT into a USB port on your
computer and everything is installed
automatically.
1. The first time you plug the Studio GT
into a USB port, Windows 7 and Vista
will install the universal drivers for that
port. A balloon tip will pop up, telling
you it has found the USB Audio codec
(Figure 1).
2. When it is finished installing the
drivers, it will say "Your new hardware
is installed and ready to use". This
balloon will not pop up again for the
same USB port.
3. The Studio GT becomes the Default
Device after you plug it in and defaults
to maximum volume. Double-check
this by hovering over the speaker icon
in the bottom right hand corner of the
screen. It should show Volume:100
and "Samson StudioGT".
4. If it is not the default device, you can
set it under the Sound Properties
panel in Control Panel (figure 2).
5. Select the "Recording" tab. Select the
"Samson StudioGT" from the list.
6. To set the gain (volume) settings.
Select the "Properties" button, then
select the "Levels" tab. The "Input"
volume control should be set as close
as possible to 0 dB to get the best
dynamic range (Figure 3). If the level is
set higher than this, the noise will be
unnecessarily high. The "Input" volume
