Recording level adjustment
High
recording
level
Is recommended
to
reduce
annoyance
of
tape nolse, but overloaded
and distorted
tapes could
result if the
level Is too high. Generally, recording level should be adjusted so
that the pointers of the meters deflect as close as possibie to 0
at the
highest
signal-level
passage
of the program
you
want
to
record. The pointers may go over 0 for an Instant at sudden high
level bursts, but usually this Is not a problem. Such bursts can be
detected
by the flashes
of the
PEAK
level indicator.
Try to keep
the overall level at a value causing minimum triggering or flashing
of the PEAK
level indicator.
This Indicator follows the transtent
peaks of occasional high level inputs that cannot be followed by
VU meters.
