is important
f
or vocals as well. The di

erence is that in the case o
f
vocals, it’s
d
i

cult to maintain a consistent distance to the mic, meanin
g
that
the volume will change ever
y
time

a
lso a

ected by the condition o
f
the person who is singing. These
f
actors make it hard to get a consistent vocal recording.
T

Use the LEVEL knob to
adjust the recording
level.
T
he volume o
f
a vocal will tend to change signi

cantly, so it’s best
to be cautious, and set the level a bit lower than

The vocal volume will change
widely, so set the level com-
fortably below the maximum
at the right edge.
