![Page 17: studio tools](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56814f19550346895dbcaaf9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
soundboard• Knobs adjust EQ (Equalizer) which has influence over how each input is interpreted.

Remember
Pay attention to your meters. Just because it is an acceptable level in the control room does not mean it is an acceptable level on tape (or your
recording)
