Adjusting the Tone (Equalizer)

A two-band (low, high) or three-band (low, mid, high) parametric equalizer is provided for each channel.

First make equalizer adjustments separately for each channel. If you have recorded any stereo pairs, be sure that the same settings are made for both tracks. Then, while paying attention to the overall balance, make final adjustments for equalizer, pan, and volume level for each channel.

*If you adjust the equalizer while listening to the sound, you may notice a clicking noise. This is not a malfunction. If the noise is objectionable, make adjustments while the sound is not playing.
