Tips for Setting Input Level
The best way to do this is to monitor the loudest
sound you will be recording and adjust the input
gain so the input metering remains green, yellow or
orange and not red. If the microphone input meter
becomes red when recording, the input is too high
and the recording will be distorted.
4
Select an Input Processing preset. The presets use
onboard DSP processing to shape the sound with EQ,
compression and limiting to achieve the most natural
or unique result. Select No Processing or leave as is to
bypass this feature.
