For optimum enjoyment
While using Cubase LE, other applications may slow down drastically
or the message "Cannot synchronize with USB audio interface" may
appear. If this happens frequently, consider taking the following steps
to optimize the operation conditions for Cubase LE.
(1) Shut down other applications besides Cubase LE. In
particular, check for resident software and utilities.
(2) Reduce plug-ins (effects, instruments) used by Cubase LE.
When there is a high number of plug-ins, the computer's
processing power may not be able to keep up. Reducing
the number of tracks for simultaneous playback can also be
helpful.
(3) Power the G2.1u from an AC adapter.
When powered via the USB port, the current supply may sometimes
fluctuate, leading to problems. See if using an AC adapter improves
operation.
If applications still run very slowly or the computer itself does not
function properly, disconnect the G2.1u from the computer and shut
down Cubase LE. Then reconnect the USB cable and start Cubase LE
again.

Level meter
When the audio track is in recording standby mode,
its recording level is shown by the level meter for the
assigned channel. The level should be set in such a
way that the meter registers to a fairly high value but
remains below the maximum point.
NOTE
• The level meter shows the signal level after
internal processing by Cubase LE. Therefore
a slight time lag may occur between playing a
guitar string and the meter registering the
change in level. This is normal and not a
defect.
• The audio tracks of Cubase LE will be
recorded with correct timing exactly matched
to your guitar play. There will be no lag
between already recorded tracks and newly
added tracks.
