Set the recording level
: While watching the input levels, have your band, or whatever you plan to
record, start playing. As they play, slowly turn up the gain knobs on the front of the MobilePre USB. You’ll
see the input levels start to increase. Continue to turn up the gain until the level meters consistently reach
3/4 up the scale. If the red clip indicators at the top of the input meters should light, the record level is too
high and is distorting. Turn down the gain until the red light turns off.
Note: It is especially helpful to have
your band, or other source, play their loudest section of music while you adjust the levels to ensure you
don’t overload the MobilePre USB inputs
