condenser microphones, be sure to press this
button to supply phantom power.
• MIX knob, for balancing the input signal and the sound

This knob lets you select which sound to
listen to during recording. For example,
when you are recording vocals and want

that is connected to the input jack, turn the
knob toward INPUT. If you want to hear
the vocals after applying an echo or other
software effects, turn the knob toward DAW.
DAW is an acronym for Digital Audio Workstation, which is just another way of saying
"music creation software".
