How to Match the Input Levels
If guitar, mic, or auxiliary input levels are set too low, then the data actually
recorded may need to amplified, which may result in noise. At the same
time, recording with the input levels set too high may cause the sound to be
distorted.
Use the following measures to adjust the inputs to the most appropriate
levels.
* The adjustment is made while playing loudly with a connected instrument or the
like, so take care to ensure that the output volume does not become too loud.
