You are now able to record using your preferred microphone on your device. To get optimal results, you need to properly adjust the GAIN control.

If the GAIN is too low, recordings will be too quite, and when boosted within the apps they will become too noisy. If the GAIN is too high, recordings will be distorted.
English Direct monitoring When recording an audio signal into your audio software, there is often a slight delay before it reaches the outputs of the software and iRig Pre 2. This delay, called latency, is caused by the computer processing required to convert and record audio. Since this delay can be distracting, iRig Pre 2 provides a direct monitoring path from the input to the output, which is activated by the Direct Monitor switch.
