Setting Input Levels

It is important to take the time to establish a good input level prior to recording. The level should be hot but not so hot as to cause distortion when a player plays a loud passage. Your digital audio interface should provide trim knobs for the purpose. Some audio interfaces will provide a software application that can be used to set input levels. Strangely, it is not usually possible to adjust input levels from within most workstation software. Although a few products integrate hardware and software in this way, in many cases it will be necessary to adjust trim levels directly on the audio interface. I mention this because the concept was a source of confusion when I first learned about audio recording. I remember being baffled as to how to set input levels until I realized it was not possible to set levels directly in my DAW software—it was necessary to adjust input gain directly on the audio interface.
