Setting the Input Levels

The explanation here provides an example of adjusting
the input level of the signals from instruments or mics
connected to INPUT connectors, with the input patch-
ing in the default state.
1.
While the musicians play the instruments
or devices connected to the INPUT con-
nector, adjust each [PAD] and [GAIN] so
that [PEAK] flickers briefly when the max-
imum volume occurs..
Note: The [GAIN] controls adjust the analog input
sensitivity. To make a high-quality recording with a
wide dynamic range and little noise, set the [GAIN]
controls as high as possible while avoiding clipping.
2.
Press the LAYER [1–16] button.
Input Channel Layer 1–16 is now available for con-
trol from the channel strip section.
Note: Since the fader and [ON] button positions of
each layer are memorized, those positions for the cor-
responding layer are restored when you switch to that
layer.
3.
Press the FADER MODE [HOME] button,
then press the [F1] button to display the
Meter | CH1-32 page.
Meter pages are the start point for mixing and
recording. They display channel input and output
levels, and compressor and gate gain reduction
amounts. The CH1-32 page enables you to view
Input Channel 1–32 levels and compressor and gate
gain reduction amounts.

4. Make sure that the LEVEL button ( 1 ) is
turned on in the METER MODE section.
The METER MODE section enables you to select
the type of signals displayed on the meters. If any
button other than the LEVEL button is turned on,
move the cursor to the LEVEL button, then press
[ENTER].
5.
Move the cursor to the POSITION param-
eter box ( 2 ) to the right of the LEVEL
button, rotate the Parameter wheel or
press the [INC]/[DEC] buttons to select
"POST FADER," then press [ENTER].
The POSITION parameter indicates the metering
position. When "POST FADER" is selected, the
meters indicate the post-fader signal levels.
Note: If you set the POSITION parameter to "PRE
EQ, " the pre-EQ input levels are metered. If you set the
parameter to "PRE FADER, " the post-EQ and
pre-fader input levels are metered.
6.
Make sure that the [ON] button of the
corresponding channel is on (lit), and
raise the fader to the 0 dB position.
7.
While the musicians play the musical
instruments, check the input channel lev-
els using the level meters on the display.
Note: If the meters reach the "OVER" level, make sure
that the faders are set to 0dB, then lower the corre-
sponding [GAIN] controls.
