INTRODUCTION
Welcome
Thank you for purchasing a GoStudio mobile handheld recorder for iPod.
We designed GoStudio for a wide range of users, from podcasters to students, teachers, and journalists.
The GoStudio is compact, portable, and sturdy enough to stand up to the rigors of a mobile digital lifestyle. Its shape gives you
easy access to the controls and makes it easy to get the best recordings possible in almost any situation. The iPod docking cradle
secures your iPod in a position that allows convenient and comfortable access to the screen and click wheel.
Your GoStudio will help you make the most of the high-quality recording capabilities of your iPod. You can use the built-in
microphones or connect other audio sources using the GoStudio’s array of audio input jacks. The GoStudio’s front panel gives you
all the control you need to make great recordings, while the audio-level-indicator LEDs give you real-time feedback. Plug in your
headphones to listen in while your iPod records your audio source, then listen to your recording when you’re done. If you don’t have
headphones handy, you can play back your iPod recordings through the GoStudio’s speaker.
We are pleased that you chose to purchase a GoStudio, and we have designed it to give you many years of high-quality recording.

OVERVIEW
Once you’ve prepared the audio source, you’ll adjust the gain and
master level controls for your recording. These controls set the volume,
or“level,”oftheaudiothatyouriPodwillrecord.Settingtheaudio
level is one of the most important aspects of making great recordings.
To help you set the audio level, the GoStudio lets you to listen to, or
“monitor,”theaudioinrealtimethroughtheGoStudio’sheadphonejack.
Additionally, an array of LEDs on the GoStudio shows you how loud the
audio is.
Once the recording level is set, you might want to activate some of the
GoStudio’s other recording options. The mono switch lets you mix down
your audio source to mono. The limiter switch lets you activate an audio
limiter function, which makes sure the audio signal that the iPod will
record does not exceed the optimal maximum level. The low cut filter
switch lets you activate a filter that removes low-frequency content from
your recording, such as sounds caused by vibrations or air conditioners.
Now you’re ready to record! Navigate to your iPod recording menu and
start a new recording. When you’re done recording, play it back through
your headphones or through the GoStudio’s built-in speaker. Then,
you can import the audio file of your recording from your iPod to your
computer where you can store it, edit it, distribute it, remix it, or just
about anything you can imagine.
GoStudio Basics
Your GoStudio captures and processes audio, which is then recorded
in high quality by your iPod. The GoStudio provides you with the audio
input options, audio controls, and real-time feedback needed to make
great recordings in almost any situation without any hassle.
Your iPod saves recordings as uncompressed files. There are a number
of ways that you can access the files containing your recordings later.
These are described on page 17.
Recording with GoStudio
To make a recording with your GoStudio, you will usually follow a few
simple steps. We’ll walk through your first recording (skip ahead to

warmed up.
First, you’ll set up the audio source for your recording. If you want to
use the GoStudio’s built-in stereo microphones, then you’re ready to go.
If you want to connect another audio source to the GoStudio, such as
a microphone or an instrument, you’ll need a cable to connect it to the
GoStudio. Then, make sure the GoStudio’s Source switch is set for the
audio source you want to record.
