Sound Monitors

The monitors show the input data that the input device is receiving.

  • Signal Level

    • When the signal reaches the maximum level then the signal is cut and you get distortion. This will lower the sound quality.

    • If the signal level is too low then you will need to increase the volume of your speakers to hear the sound being played. In general the more amplification used the worse the sound quality on playback. In addition low input volume can also lead to unwanted noise on the final track.

    • Hence adjust the volume level of your sound source so that the maximum sound level is in the middle of the red band. 

  • Movement one one monitor only

    • If only one monitor is moving then a mono audio stream is being received. If your sound source is stereo then:


      • Try moving the audio lead around.

      • Use a different audio lead.

      • Check all equipment you are using is stereo.

  • No Movement

    • The input device is not receiving any data. Possible reasons:

      • Sound source not connected to input device correctly.

      • Sound source set at too low a volume or 'Mute' button on sound source pressed.

      • Selection of wrong device (change in Options menu).

      • Input device is not working properly.
