Mixdown

—Owner’s Manual
6
While listening through the headphones or
monitor speakers, use the faders, PAN con-
trols, and EQ controls of input channels 1–4
to adjust the mixdown.
First, use the PAN controls to set the left/right bal-
ance. Next, adjust the faders to set the volume bal-
ance of each track. At the ideal level, the +12 mark
of the stereo level meter should light occasionally.
Make fine adjustments to the STEREO fader as
necessary. Finally, use the EQ controls as desired
to adjust the tone, and re-adjust the volume levels
if necessary.
