Setting up Shakti is easy. Plug the cord into the "Speaker Out"
jack of your sound card.

DO NOT use the 'line out' plug.
MAKE SURE your Shakti isn't plugged in to the microphone jack.
The best way to be sure is to use a speaker or a pair of headphones to
listen to a sound, and then plug Shakti into the same plug.
A mistake on this point will prevent you from having successful sessions.
