7.3. Adjusting Volume Levels
When mixing tracks you need to make sure that the volumes of both tracks are at the same level
for flawless transitions. For this, you can define the volume level for the incoming audio signal into
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 counterclockwise.
To avoid damaging your ears, always set the connected speakers or power amplifier
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, for exam-
ple, take out the bass frequency band of one track in order to let the bass of the other track domi-
nate the mix. Or you can slightly adjust the middle frequencies to attenuate, for example, 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 counterclockwise to take out the individual frequency band.
Turning the EQ knobs entirely counterclockwise would remove the individual frequency band
from the audio signal.
Using EQ to remove frequencies can help to avoid the clipping that can occur when
two tracks play together at full volume.
