or taken out is a matter of personal preference to the listener(s).

 

ADDING BASS OR TREBLE TO THE VOCALS

the

amount of bass on the vocal signal, turn in a counterclockwise motion.

2.To increase the treble tones on the vocal signal turn the “TREBLE” control knob in a clockwise motion until the desired amount of treble is achieved.
