Turning Tone off
Although you can turn Tone off, we recom-
mend you leave it on.
At the mixer you plug Perform-V into, you’ll want
to make sure that…
►
any EQs are flat (i.e., neutral and not altering
any frequencies) and
►
any effects are turned off.
For mixer setup recommendations, see this

Let’s take a look at Tone’s various components.
EQ
Equalization (EQ) helps to shape the tone of
your voice to fit into a musical mix. It removes
some of the low “mud” frequencies and boosts
the highs for “sparkle” or “air”. Every recording
you hear these days has some manner of EQ on
the lead vocal (and pretty much everything else
too).
