4. Penyelesaian masalah

If you encounter issues with your Midiplus Studio 4, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Tidak ada daya/Perangkat tidak dikenali:

• Hidupkan ulang komputer Anda.

Tidak Ada Keluaran Suara:

• Check all cable connections to your monitors and headphones.
• Ensure the Monitor Volume and Headphone Gain knobs are turned up.
• Verify that the correct input/output routing is selected using the IN/OUT buttons.
• Check your computer's sound settings and your DAW's audio preferences to ensure the Midiplus Studio 4 is selected as the input/output device.
• Ensure the LED meters are showing activity when audio is present.

Input Signal Too Low/High:

• Adjust the GAIN knobs for the respective inputs.
• Ensure the LINE/INST switch is set correctly for your connected device (e.g., INST for guitars, LINE for keyboards).
• If using a condenser microphone, ensure 48V phantom power is enabled.

Masalah Latensi:

• Sesuaikan ukuran buffer di pengaturan audio DAW Anda. Ukuran buffer yang lebih kecil mengurangi latensi tetapi membutuhkan lebih banyak daya CPU.
