The only trick here is that sometimes you want to have a highly processed signal, such as when using a virtual instrument like a soft synth or a guitar amp simulator, like the Guitar Rig that we mentioned earlier, which in another review I played around with and I think it's totally awesome just to say that again.Īnyway, this direct monitoring if it's turned on you wouldn't hear that processed signal so the value of this feature really depends on what type of recording you plan on doing in your home studio.įinally the headphone input and headphone level here are pretty self explanatory so let's move on to the top panel where we have some very sweet looking indicator LEDs. So all this takes time and so the direct monitoring allows you to hear the input before it is sent on to your computer. Latency is the amount of time it takes for a signal to go through your audio interface, get processed by the computer, and then sent back to the unit where your headphones are connected. Moving on now to the monitor section, this is a direct monitor function and why is direct monitoring so popular?īecause it allows you to hear your input signals with no latency. So the controls really feel good across the front here.
KOMPLETE AUDIO 6 GUITAR FULL
The gain control is very smooth over the full range of motion and had almost no wiggle, actually has no wiggle, it's very very solid. If you use a mic cable it will automatically detect mic level signal, otherwise you'll need to specify what type of signal, line or instrument level, using the control here. They are combo jacks which means they take a XLR mic cable or a 1/4" instrument cable. Starting with the front panel we have 2 mic preamps here and here. So that is everything that comes bundled with the system now let's talk about the unit itself. You get a 30 day trial to play around with and then if you wanna continue to use it you have to register so it's still free after the 30 days are up but you will have to go on to Steinburg and register an account with them. Lastly the included recording software is Cubase LE 6 from Steinberg.
So if youre into that maybe for a different review ill get into some of that DJ stuff, but not right now.
KOMPLETE AUDIO 6 GUITAR DRIVERS
Next we have the software drivers which are pretty boring, but also critically important these basically get your unit configured to talk with your computer and the disc also has a trial version of Traktor LE 2, which is DJ software that can be used to do remixes and mashups up and stuff like that. These are a pretty amazing bonus to what this unit offers just on the surface. This is the Komplete elements package it's a collection of 3 rockin plug-ins including Guitar Rig, which is sweet, Kontakt which is for drums, and Reaktor which is a software synth. The instructions for getting set up are very clear and easy to follow, and here is the included software.
KOMPLETE AUDIO 6 GUITAR MANUAL
Over here is the manual they did a really good job with this. Starting, though, with a 5 foot USB cable nothing too special about this, but it is always nice that they include a cable that's actually long enough to use. Here is everything that's included in the package the unit obviously here we'll get into that in detail next.
T oday we will be taking a look at the Komplete Audio 6 that's complete with a "K" Ka-Ka-Komplete Audio 6 USB audio interface from Native Instruments.
