the Mixer channel (GAIN) on the one side, and you can define the volume for the outgoing signal
to the MASTER output on the other side.
Adjusting the GAIN Levels for Incoming Audio Signals
To adjust the volume level for incoming audio signals, you need to use the
GAIN
knob:
•
Turn the
GAIN
knob to a position so that the LEDs stay between
0
dB and
6
dB.
Adjusting Channel Volume Levels
To adjust the volume of the mixer channels:
•
Move the channel faders up or down.
Adjusting the MASTER Output Level
To adjust the
MASTER
volume level:
•
Turn the
MASTER
knob clockwise or counter-clockwise.
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.
7.4. Using the Equalizer to Tweak Your Sound
You can use the equalizer for adjusting the sound of your tracks while mixing. You can, i.e. take
out the bass frequency band of one track in order to let the bass of the other track dominate the
mix. Or you can slightly adjust the middle frequencies to attenuate i.e. vocals.
The
EQ
knobs adjust the high, middle, or low frequencies in the audio signal.
Taking out Frequency Bands of the Audio Signal
•
Turn the
EQ
knobs counter-clockwise to take out the individual frequency band.
Turning the
EQ
knobs entirely counter-clockwise would kill/mute the individual frequency
band from the audio signal.
Taking out frequencies can avoid clipping that can easily occur when two
tracks play together with full volume.
Attenuating Frequency Bands in the Audio Signal
•
Turn the
EQ
knobs clockwise to attenuate the individual frequency band.
Using the equalizer while cueing a track can support manual alignment of the tempos.
