Notes:
When recording a guitar or bass with an active pickup, set the M-Track Plus's MIC/LINE / GUITAR SWITCH to "MIC/LINE."
If your instrument uses a passive pickup, set the switch to "GUITAR."
Do not use the MIC INPUT and GUITAR/LINE INPUT at the same time on one channel. This may overload the channel and
cause distortion.
Plug the M-Track Plus directly into your computer, and avoid using a USB hub. Hubs can interfere with the M-Track Plus's
audio and MIDI timing signals.
Recommended Installations
We highly recommend installing the following software applications:
Pro Tools Express: We've included Pro Tools Express with your M-Track Plus so you can get started making music with a
professional DAW right out of the box:
1. Insert the DVD into your computer's DVD drive. Double-click the DVD to view its contents. Locate, open, and follow
the installation instructions.
2. After activating Pro Tools Express and receiving the license, connect the included iLok 2 to a USB port on your
computer and transfer the license to it.
Connect the iLok 2 to your computer whenever you want to use Pro Tools Express. The software will launch
once it verifies the license on the iLok 2. (Visit www.avid.com to check for any available software updates.)
Ignite (www.airmusictech.com/getignite): We recommend downloading Ignite, a music creation tool designed by AIR Music
Technology to be easiest way to capture, build, and share musical ideas. Ignite works well on its own or as a writing companion
to the production capabilities of your software.

leave M-Track Plus connected to your

hear the audio through your home
speaker system.
