Set the recording levels
In order to obtain the best possible sound quality, it is very important to set optimal recording levels. If
you set the levels too low, you will be able to notice tape noise. If you set the levels too high, the tape will
be saturated and distortion will result. Therefore, you should set the recording levels to the highest level
before distortion sets in.
The MT4X is equipped with sensitive peak-hold level meters (
Z
). You can monitor the level of the
individual tracks and the stereo bus. Use the level meters in conjunction with the monitoring modes (see
"Monitoring" on page 15) to set your recording levels.
