Set Up Your Monitoring and Shape the Signal to Taste
During recording, you'll typically monitor the MASTER mix. Make sure the MASTER
fader is set as desired and set the track's channel fader to 0 so you can hear the track.
If you're sure you want to make permanent changes to the signal's sound before
recording, use the input channel's CH EDIT tools (Chapter 11) to do so. Otherwise,

fader—and FADER parameter, therefore—to the desired recording level. For tips on
recording levels, see "How Do I Get Good Levels?" on Page 60.
