Software Controls – Mic Preset Tab
The following diagram illustrates the audio processing sections in the mic channel:
The parameters in each processing secton are represented in the Mic Preset tab.
 NOTE: Any edits made in this tab are not saved unless you press the Mic Preset
"Save" button in the Presets Tab.
 TIP: Rather than click on the slider knob with the mouse and dragging it to the
desired position, click on the point you want it to go and the slider knob will
automatically jump there. Also, on some sliders, such as the Equalizer, you can
double click to center them midway between the top and bottom position.

Silencer

The Silencer noise gate eliminates background noise from being picked up by the mic. To set
the noise gate threshold, listen to the mic and turn up the threshold until you no longer hear
the room noise. Then speak into the mic at a comfortable level and make sure the noise gate
turns on, passing your voice. If it seems that you have to speak too loudly, turn down the
threshold a bit so that you can eliminate room noise while still using a comfortable speaking
tone.
For instance, if you're in a room with a blasting air conditioner, you can prevent the mic
from picking up the sound of the air conditioner by setting the noise gate just above the air
conditioner sound. That way, when you speak, the mic will pick up your voice, but when
you're not speaking it will shut out the sound of the air conditioner.

Limiter

The limiter makes sure your voice level won't go above the threshold setting, so it won't get
too loud if you speak too close to the mic. Speak into the mic and set the threshold to a
comfortable level that doesn't make the voice sound unnatural, but keeps it from getting too
loud.
