ADS Instant Music

Quick Start Revision 070717

Guide for hardware and software installation and

basic use in Microsoft Windows.

Some procedural details will vary depending on your Windows version.

Section 1 – Hardware installation and configuration

1) Connect it up.

a) Connect the output on your source (LP preamp, power amp, stereo receiver etc.) to the L/R

inputs on the back of the Instant Music. If your source has an optical digital output you can use

that to connect to the Instant Music.

If your source does not have a set of RCA outputs (boom boxes, some shelf systems with only speaker-wire out) then

you can use an adapter to connect from the headphone jack to the L/R in on the back of the Instant Music.

b) Run a USB cable from the USB port on the back of the Instant Music to an available USB port on

your PC.

c) Windows will detect that new hardware has been connected to the PC. If you receive a “Found

New Hardware Wizard” have Windows search

automatically for the appropriate drivers.

Drivers for USB Audio are built into every

current Windows version.

Depending on your own Windows Installation, you may

be asked to provide the Windows CD. You must do this;

the only drivers available are part of the Windows

operating system and as such are legal property of

Microsoft Corporation and cannot be distributed outside

of the Windows CD.

2) Confirm proper driver installation.

a) Right-click “Computer” and select “Properties.”

b) Click Device Manager on the side pane. In

Windows 2K/XP, click the Hardware tab first, then click

the “Device Manager” button.

c) Locate “USB Audio Device” under the “Sound,

video and game controllers” category.

Assuming you have no other USB Sound

devices connected to your system, that is the

Instant Music.

3) Set the correct input and output devices.

a) Click the “Start” menu then to “Control Panel.”

b) Select “Hardware and Sound” then click “Sound.” In

WinXP, select “Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices” followed

by “Sounds and Audio Devices.” In Win2K, open “Sounds and

Multimedia.”

c) Vista users:

i) On the “Playback” tab, select “Speakers” for

your system’s native sound chip (NOT the USB

Audio CODEC).

ii) On the “Recording” tab, select “Microphone” for

the USB Audio CODEC.

iii) Click OK.

d) WinXP/2K users: i) Go to the “Audio” Tab.

ii) Under the first region, “Sound playback,” set it to

your system’s native sound chip.

iii) Under the second region, “Sound recording,” the

default device should be set to USB Audio CODEC or

USB Audio Device.

iv) Click OK.

Warning: If you set the default playback device to USB Audio, you will not be able to hear any sound from your

PC speakers as long as the USB unit is connected. This setting is essential to monitoring your recordings as

they are being made.

Section 2 – Software Installation

1) Insert the Instant Music CD into your CD/DVD drive.

2) If the CD does not autoplay, open “Computer” and double-click

the drive in which you inserted the disc.

3) Click on the “Spin It Again 2.1” button to begin software

installation.

4) Run through the installation routine. For the vast majority of

users, it is sufficient to use all of the default options, including

the installation target location, and just selecting “Next” at

each step.

5) Once you’ve finished the installation, you’re ready to begin

recording.

Section 3 – Recording your first CD

1) Setup After initially running the Spin It Again program, it is recommended that you check on

some initial setup items before you start recording.

a) Click on the “Settings…” button.

b) On the “Recording” tab, you can check and

change the location of the recording folder.

This is where all temporary recordings are

stored for your projects.

c) The sensitivity for the program’s automatic

track detection is also set on the “Recording”

page. See the program help for further details.

d) You can optionally run the level wizard which will aid you in correctly adjusting the amount of gain

the software imposes on the incoming audio. Note that this is software control only when used

with a USB Audio device, thus if your source is either too loud or too soft for the device itself,

volume will have to be adjusted at the source or through an amp/mixer.

e) On the “Audio” Tab, you should confirm that

your playback and recording devices are set to

match what was selected in the earlier

hardware setup stage.

i) The playback device should be your sound

card or, if everything was previously set

correctly, “Default Wave Device” can be

selected.

ii) The recording device should be set to the USB Audio CODEC (the ADS Device).

iii) In order to hear your music as you’re recording it, you should check the option to monitor

recording through the playback device.

f) When you’ve got everything set to your satisfaction, click OK.

2) Recording You’ll begin the

recording process by selecting either to

“Record A Vinyl LP” or to “Record A

Cassette Tape.”

a) The first time you make one of these

selections, you’ll be asked if you

wish to run the level and hookup

wizards. These wizards are optional but

if you have problems hearing sound while

recording, the Hookup Wizard will guide

you through the correct way to hook

everything up.

b) On the first screen of the Recording Wizard is where you’ll begin recording.

i) Make sure that the “Monitor” box

is checked or you will not be able

to hear your recording.

ii) In order to begin recording, you

simply click the record button.

You can stop and resume the

recording as well if you wish to

not record certain segments.

c) After you have recorded everything

you want on the album (up to 80

minutes for most CD’s) you should

click “Next” to proceed to the next

step. Do not proceed until you’ve

recorded everything you want on your

album!

3) Track Detection The next stage allows you to detect and adjust where CD track splits go

into your project. a) In most cases, your tracks will be

separated correctly by the program.

b) In some cases, adjustment will be

desirable. This can be done by

adjusting the drag handles above

your selected track in the lower bar.

Please review the Spin It Again

manual for further details.

c) This is also where you can apply

affects in order to clean up and

enhance the audio. You can choose

from a number of preset filters and

you can also customize your own

(see Spin It Again documentation for

details).

4) Name Your Recording In this step you can add CD Text information to your album.

a) CD Text contains such information as the artist, album name and individual track names on the

CD. This allows an application or a system that can interpret CD text to display this information

during playback.

b) Note that this step is optional but if you choose not to fill in the information, it is recommended that

you turn off the CD Text option later when you get to the burn configuration.

5) Finishing Your Project You’re ready to burn your project to a CD

a) On the “Burn A CD and/or Create Audio Files” screen, select “Burn Audio CD.”

i) You also have the option to create audio files from your

project (each track becomes its own file). The program can

create uncompressed WAV files (.wav), Windows Media

(.wma), and Ogg Vorbis (.ogg, a high-quality free format made to

compete with .mp3) files. Check your .mp3 player’s manual for supported formats.

ii) For format details, see the Spin It Again documentation.

iii) Note for iPod users: Use iTunes to convert your saved audio files to .AAC or .MP3 for use on

your iPod device.

b) You’ll then be prompted to set your CD options

including what burner to use (if you’ve more

than one), burn speed, and whether to use CD

Text on your disc. Once set, click Next.

c) If you do not have a blank CD-R disc in your

CD/DVD Recorder, the program will prompt

you to insert one. Note that CDRW discs should

normally NOT be used, as regular CD players cannot

read them.

d) Once the program begins to write to

CD, you can sit back and wait for the

burn to complete. The program will

provide you with a progress meter

so you know how far into the burn

process it is and how much is left to

go.

e) When finished, the completed disc

will be ejected from the drive and

you’ll be given the opportunity to

design and print a label and jewel

case insert for the disc.

Congratulations! You now have a disc that will play in most home and car CD players. You

can now take your music anywhere with access to a CD player.
