To avoid damaging your ears, always watch the listening level of the connected
speakers or power amplifier, and set it to a comfortable listening level.
7.5. Using the Equalizer
You can use the equalizer to slightly adjust certain frequencies in the audio signal to highlight a
specific part, like, attenuating vocals or a lead line. Another common technique is to take out the
bass frequency of one track in order to let the bass of the other track dominate the mix.
The EQ knobs adjust the high, middle, or low frequencies in the audio signal.
Taking out Frequency Bands of the Audio Signal
To take out frequency bands of the audio signal:
• Turn the individual EQ knob counterclockwise to take out the corresponding frequency band.
When you turn the EQ knob entirely counterclockwise you entirely remove the individual fre-
quency band from the audio signal.
Taking out frequencies can avoid clipping that can easily occur when two
tracks play together with full level.
Attenuating Frequency Bands in the Audio Signal
To attenuate frequency bands of the audio signal:
• Turn the individual EQ knob clockwise to attenuate the corresponding frequency band.
